I think you'll find that an electric vehicle was tested some years ago, but they didn't go on with it. Maybe the battery wasn't going to last long enough or something. I'm not sure.
Gas is a good idea, and a couple of days ago, I saw a discussion mentioning a car that runs on Air, if you please. Air costs absolutely nothing, but would the whizz kids get their speed out of these cars. I think not, somehow, but costwise, yes... a great thought.
Brightest Blessings, my dear friend.

If everyone started using electric cars then the power stations would use more fuel to keep up with the demand for the charging up of all the batteries that are in those cars. And being charged overnight would be a strain on night time useage too.
Have a nice day from Deeeky.

I noticed a few here were confused so thought I should probably say that by gas you mean propane gas. We call petrol gas. I have heard of the conversion for it but I have no idea what the cost is on it. If it will save you money then it might be worth it. With how the prices keep rising I know I wish we had a hybrid or something similar instead of just a gas running car.

The problem is emeraldisle that the British are tax mad and if more people changed to gas then the price would rocket. Years ago diesel was much cheaper to buy and since the sale of diesel cars has grown enormosely the price of diesel has overtook petrol in price.

Hi Deeky, Honda do a Hybrid car with batteries in the back my friend has one, can't think what the model is but it's only two seater and has petrol option if you need to change it over. I'll agree with one of your other responders that to have one converted is quite expensive and refilling them can be few and far between unless you live close by to a station that sells gas. Good luck in whatever you choose!
