Gentle People:
It is a shame but General Motors continues to sell anything but pure Electric Cars on Television and in the print media hoping against hope that average people are stupid and have short attention spans and they will forget about Electric vehicles. It has been proven that pure Electrics are faster than gas burning cars, create zero pollution and have the capacity to travel up to six hundred Killometers without a charge. Electric vehicles are on the market but the Oil cartels with their political allies in Washington and Ottawa along with their advertising friends on Madison Avenue, continue to block their progress. The good news is however that average people everywhere now have the communication ability to spread the truth and the CAA has a web site that provides somewhat slanted information about Electric vehicles. Slanted towards gas burning vehicles which proves my point but hey anything is better than nothing!. http://electricvehicles.caa.ca/types-of-electric-vehicles/ Until Tesla produces more cars and reduces their cost, Nissan will continue to be a front runner for Electrics. http://www.nissan.ca/en/electric-cars/leaf/charging-range/
Companies like G.M. who refuse to change and are willing to gamble with the future of their children and grandchildren, have the selfish and ignorant hope that global warming is not dangerous! They now also have the ability to quickly place their advertisements everywhere on the world wide web and feature smaller Hybrid cars that continue to burn gas. Look below this article for proof. With new electronic components copied from the magnificent Tesla Electric car company, many auto makers pretend to have modernized but nothing is further from the truth! Smaller cars do burn less gas but not when twice as many jam the highways! That equals the same amount of pollution.
The customised Mira EV travelled at speeds of around 40kph as it drove non-stop around a car racing course in Shimotsuma in Ibaraki Prefecture.
The red and white vehicle, fitted with a special lithium ion battery created by the Japanese company Sanyo, ran for 27.5 hours covering a distance of 1,003km without being recharged.
A total of 17 different people took turns at the wheel of the electric car as it circled repeatedly around the racecourse during the experiment.
The test run was organised by the Japan Electric Vehicle Club, which plans to request that the Guinness World Records officially recognise it as the world's longest electric car journey, according to media reports.
The achievement is timely: Japan and other nations are bracing themselves for an electric car boom as car manufacturers race to produce competitive versions of the environmentally-friendly vehicles.
However, the biggest inconveniences for many potential e-car owners relate to charging – from finding a nearby charger to making sure that the car does not run out of power during the school run.
The latest epic electric vehicle drive of over 1,000 km effortlessly beat the previous world record of uncharged driving 555.6km, which was achieved last November by the same Japanese organisation.
