Green Car Co

July 19th, 2007 · No Comments · Hybrid

Green Car Co. is for those of us who really want to save some energy. Now that the Scion xB is an overweight monster, beside the Prius, what can someone who cars buy?

  1. Plug Prius For just $10K more, you can buy a plug hybrid. (Wow that’s expensive), but it gives you a 16 mile all electric range and with a simple 110VAC charger its just six hours to recharge overnight when electricity is generated for free basically. Its kind of a hack, you add another lead acid battery pack that transfers into the NiMH batteries onboard.
  2. Volkswagon Tdi Biodesel. Gets 45mpg but you might as well get a Prius then
  1. Smart Car. Only two passengers and it is tiny and gets 50mpg, so not that much more than the diesel.
