Electric Cars, WATER-Powered Cars..Where are they?

Is the world mad? Think of the pollution caused by our gas guzzlers then watch this slideshow says GoGreen Rao. His January 2012 compilation of what has happened to non-petrol using vehicles I found quite astounding and certainly worth a few minutes of your time.

A History Of Non-Petrol Using Cars

• In 1996 General Motors produced EV1 – Electric Vehicle 1 – in California. 10 years later the leases on these cars were not extended and they were destroyed.
• In 1997 Nissan produced the Hyper Mini in Tokyo. In 2006 these cars were taken back and destroyed. (PWF notes that Nissan released a new Hyper Mini in February 2012)
• Toyota discontinued the 1997-2003 lease on the RAV4 EV, recalled and destroyed many of these vehicles. (PWF notes that Toyota plans to release an updated version in late 2012)
• BMW produced a car that ran on hydrogen – 10 years ago!
• Hummers are operated by hydrogen.
• Last year Genepax produced a car that runs on water.

The Questions Asked

• Why are electric cars produced and then destroyed?
• Why is the hydrogen car produced but not ‘popularised’?
• Who is interested in oil prices not sinking?

Hmmmmmm….
