A friend of mine sent me a link to Left Coast Electric and after I read through the site and saw the video it really sparked my interest.Now I know that given the current energy crisis we are now experiencing electric cars have been one of the many ways we can ween this country off imported carbon based fuels.
Now as I see it we have to take into consideration price because when at the end of the day to go green cost a lot green and especially when it comes to the electric car
market. GM has entered this market showing off there Chevy Volt with a confirmed price tag of 39,000.00 dollars is just to high and out of reach for the masses.
On the other end of the spectrum is the the Tata Nano with a price tag of 2500.00 dollars for the gas powered version and soon to be released will be an electric version with a price point somewhere around 4200.00 dollars.Tata motors is trying to make transportation affordable but I guess I do need a bit more form with than function when comes to my ride and there cars just look like go carts.
So here comes Left Coast Electric they will take an existing car and covert it to an electric car for the price of a new honda civic or any other entry level compact car (17,000.00) in my opinion that is within reach of most consumers and and it will pay way more dividends than buying that Civic.
1.It would reduce the amount of fossil fuel we would need to power our cars.
2.It would greatly reduce the number of cars in that are in junk yards and land fills polluting our environment.
3.It would reduce the amount toxic emissions that our cars spew into the atmosphere.
4.With mass production of these systems and components you will see the price come down and a whole new cottage industry that will create jobs and stimulate the economy.
Now I know we all want to do our part to make this world a greener place to live but for now it just seems out of reach financially for most of us but if companies like Left Coast Electric can succeed we will all benefit from there success for years to come.
