BMW i8 Concept -- emotional, dynamic and efficient. The BMW i8 Concept and the fascinating approach that underpins it embody the vision of a sustainable contemporary sports car brought to life. Its innovative plug-in hybrid concept combines the modified electric drive system from the BMW i3 Concept -- fitted over its front axle -- with a high-performance three-cylinder combustion engine producing 164 kW/220 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) at the rear. Working in tandem, they allow the two drive systems to display their respective talents to the full, delivering the performance of a sports car but the fuel consumption of a small car. Acceleration of 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under five seconds combined with fuel consumption in the European cycle of under three litres per 100 kilometres (approx. 94 mpg imp) are figures currently beyond the capability of any vehicle powered by a combustion engine of comparable performance. Thanks to its large lithium-ion battery, which can be charged from a domestic power supply, the BMW i8 Concept can travel up to 35 kilometres (approx. 20 miles) on electric power alone. Added to which, the 2+2-seater offers enough space for four people, giving it a high level of everyday practicality. The LifeDrive architecture of the BMW i8 Concept has been carefully adapted to enhance the vehicle's sports car character, and therefore to deliver unbeatable performance and excellent driving dynamics. The motor in the front axle module and combustion engine at ...

Since man first figured out how to build and use a car, we've been used to driving round in cars that are powered by the internal combustion engine. There has really never been another viable alternative. But those times are changing. With the ever increasing media attention on green issues and the need to look after our planet, hybrid cars are slowly becoming integrated into our society. People are starting to compare hybrid cars to the more ordinary cars they have now, and they're wondering if or when it's worth making the change.
Compare hybrid cars to normal cars and you'll see many similarities, but it's the differences that stand out. They still commonly use the internal combustion engine, but they no longer rely on that as their sole source of energy.Hybrid cars also use either battery power or electric power to keep running. This combination of resources is what stands out when you compare hybrid cars to regular cars. But the best thing you'll see when you compare hybrid cars to the usual type of car that is no doubt sitting in your driveway is the effect they have on the environment. This is why hybrid cars are such big news.
Hybrid cars are kinder to the environment by limiting the emissions they produce. In our modern world of endless roads and constant car travel, anything that can reduce the emissions that are harming the ozone layer and air quality around us has to be good news. If you're thinking seriously about buying a hybrid car, there are points to consider that would apply to any car you buy. How reliable is the maker? Does the car tend to have a history of acquiring certain problems? You then need to consider any extra problems which may occur with a hybrid car. If anything goes wrong, how easy is it to fix a hybrid car? How expensive is it likely to be? What is their typical lifespan?
When you compare hybrid cars to traditional cars - especially with a view to buying one - it's important to shop around and get as much information as you can before making your purchase. Make sure the advantages of owning one outweigh any disadvantages.Hybrid cars are becoming more familiar to us as the technology involved in their creation becomes cheaper to market. Perhaps one day we will all have a hybrid car sitting outside our solar powered green homes.

There are many positive effects of using a hybrid car on the environment, and this is one of the main reasons why many people have chosen to buy a hybrid over a conventional gas-powered automobile. Here are some of the ways that buying a hybrid can help save the environment: 1. A hybrid car burns less gasoline and thus, emits fewer toxic emissions. Although the amount of the reduction varies depending on the car model as well as the user's driving style, in general it is estimated that hybrids can reduce emissions by as much as 90% (under ideal conditions) compared with regular cars. And the adoption of future hybrid technology such as plug-in hybrids, diesel hybrids and fuel cell-powered hybrids are expected to lower emissions even further and bring hybrids closer to the eventual goal of zero-emission automobiles. 2. It also emit less greenhouse gases. Studies have shown that hybrid cars emit substantially less carbon dioxide, one of the main greenhouse gases, compared with conventional automobiles. And the recent emergence of clean diesel technology promises to reduce emissions even further as car manufacturers work to bring diesel-powered hybrids to the market that also promise even greater fuel efficiency as well as more powerful hybrid cars. 3. Less noise pollution is one of the least discussed hybrid car environment benefits. In general produce less noise than conventional automobiles, particularly when they are using the electric battery. And plug-ins can lower noise levels even further, as larger battery packs allow driving for lengthier distances using just electric power. 4. Hybrid cars have improved fuel efficiency, resulting in less gas used and cutting overall demand for fossil fuels. This means that there is less pressure to drill in environmentally-sensitive areas such as Alaska, in which oil exploration activities are currently proscribed by the government. These areas contain some of the planet's most fragile ecosystems, which would surely be disrupted by the presence of oil drillers. Unfortunately, one of the main factors against wider adoption of these cars among consumers remains price, as a hybrid car can cost thousands of dollars more compared with a conventional automobile. However, prices are expected to go down in the future as the technology becomes more widespread and older models begin entering the secondary market. Tax incentives for plug-in hybrids at the Federal and state level also help make the cost of shifting to a hybrid more affordable. Ultimately, however, as the effects of global warming worsen, the bottom line for most buyers may be that a hybrid car is more environment friendly.

As fuel prices move into record territory, there is greater interest in the benefits of hybrid cars. Do hybrids really hold the key to beating high gas prices, and if so, how do they do it? The article below takes a closer look at hybrid design, how it results in savings, and how to figure out if a hybrid is the right choice for you. After reading this, you should have a good understanding of how hybrids fit into the overall fuel economy issue.The word "hybrid" means that two distinct types of technology have been blended into one vehicle. Hybrid vehicles have been around for a long time. A moped is one good instance because it combines human pedaling power with the power of a small gasoline motor. Most of today's new hybrid cars combine fuel and electric power, making them gas-electric hybrids. Gasoline-powered cars can go far and fast, but they produce pollution and require high-priced fuel. Electric power is clean and inexpensive, but most cannot provide power essential for high speed or great distance. Vehicles based on hybrid tech put the best of both into one package. It's this combination of technologies that give rise to the benefits of hybrid cars.What are the benefits of hybrid cars in terms of saving gas? To begin with, the fuel engines in hybrids are smaller. This means they are lighter and therefore use less fuel to get around. Not only is the engine lighter, the whole car weighs less, so it requires less horsepower to move it. The hybrid's electric motor can lend a hand in the event more power is wanted. There is more fuel saving tech under the hood as well. Hybrid vehicles are actually able to harvest power when you decelerate using "regenerative braking." They also automatically shut off the engine when you stop at traffic lights or drive-thru windows, and resume on demand when you are ready to move again.Could the benefits of hybrid cars save you money? It's relatively easy to figure it out. What is your average annual mileage? If you're like the everyday American, it would be about 15,000 miles per year. Let's say you drive 45 percent of those miles on the highway and 55 percent in the city. That's 6,750 highway miles and 8,250 city miles. A standard fuel Honda Civic would use 187.5 gallons (6,750 miles @ 36 mpg) on the highway and 330 gallons (8,250 miles @ 25 mpg) in the city. That's a total annual fuel cost of ,070 (517.5 gallons @ per gallon). A hybrid Civic would use 132.4 gallons for highway driving (6,750 @ 51 mpg) and 168.4 gallons in the city (8,250 @ 49 mpg). At per gallon, that would give you an annual fuel cost savings of 7. Another factor to keep in mind is the higher initial cost of buying a hybrid. You may be able to save more if there are any federal or state tax benefits of hybrid cars.Hybrid vehicles combine two types of power to attain new levels of fuel economy. What one technology may lack, the other furnishes. Their lower weight and smaller size make it possible for hybrids to extract more distance from less fuel. By comparing annual fuel costs as well as taking into account possible incentives, you may find that the benefits of hybrid cars can save you money over the long run. The next step is to start getting together information about your favorite hybrid vehicle and treat yourself to a test drive.To learn more about how to save fuel, go to http://fuelsavingguide.info now.

Over the past few years, the automobile industry has seen a rise in the popularity of electric cars. This is largely due to greater awareness of the environmental issues caused by cars and emphasis on how we should all be trying to reduce the impact cars have on the environment.
In the past, electric cars were perceived as inferior to traditional cars in terms of performance and style. This is changing slightly now with companies such as Tesla bringing out more modern styled, high performance electric cars. The Tesla Roadster sports car was released in July 2007 and has seen sales steadily grow as electric cars become more popular as attitudes change and the drivers become more environmentally conscious.
The performance of electric cars, in terms of speed and miles per charge has always attracted negative reviews. However, perceptions are changing thanks to cars like the Tesla Roadster which can drive for 244 miles on a single charge of battery and can reach 0-60 in 3.9 seconds.
This performance has helped to reposition electric cars as a more realistic option for many motorists around the world, with consumers now warming to the idea of more environmentally friendly motoring. Gas and fuel prices now mean that we could all save a considerable amount of money if we switched to an electric car.
The United States of America as well as the United Arab Emirates has seen an increase in the volume of electric cars on their roads and we will probably see the same here in the UK. Tesla has a partnership deal with Lotus which results in the building of the cars in the UK. This could be great for the UK economy.
Electric cars are becoming increasingly stylish and when you combine this with the fact that you could considerably help the environment by cutting down massively on your CO2 emissions, means that we should all consider electric cars as the cars of the future.

OK, so is it really possible to build your own DIY Electric Car from parts you can obtain yourself, at a cost that won't put you in the poor house? That's really the one question I seem to get most often from skeptics.
To be honest, I don't know why there aren't more DIY electric cars on the road. I suppose people assume that if it were really so simple, everyone would be doing it. Driving for 4 cents per mile instead of four dollars per mile is a no-brainer. Who wouldn't do that if given the choice? Everyone would gladly say goodbye to tune ups, oil changes and the gas pump forever if the could. Therefore, many conclude that converting a car to electric power must be difficult, highly complicated and beyond the ability of most people.
What I do know is that it is a lot of fun to build and drive and the project is easy and cheap to complete. Simply begin your DIY Electric car project with a car that is appropriate for converting and a good set of plans. You'll need to mount batteries and the electric motor inside, so you'll need a car with enough room for those but is still relatively light and small.
]]>
To make the project a lot easier, the car should also have a manual transmission. Don't worry if you can't or don't want to drive a stick. A converted vehicle requires no shifting once the project is completed. It's pretty amazing how inexpensively you can pick up a used car with engine damage that is in otherwise excellent condition. Just check for issues in the transmission, undercarriage, breaks etc before you buy it.
In spite of their 50-60 MPH top speed and range of 200 miles between charges, I always recommend that the first conversion not be performed on the owner’s primary vehicle. Instead, get a cheap 2nd car to convert. One more point to remember once you do complete your project take some time to get used to the responsiveness. You must get a feel for the controller (the electric car version of the gas pedal) because these things are amazingly zippy off the line.
The reasons the plans are so important is that a good set of quality plans will not only guide you step-by-step through the entire project, but will also provides priceless information on where to locate all your parts very inexpensively-and in some cases even free. You can save a ton of money using a good instruction guide. For example, retail conversion kits cost 00 or more and that's before you even buy a single battery or the vehicle, or you can spend on a set of plans up front and convert the entire car for under 0 including the batteries. Readers can learn a lot more about DIY electric cars here.

In order to make your hybrid car run smoothly for a long time, there are a few things that can be done which will not take a lot of money or time. Most cars come with good warranties especially for the expensive parts like the battery. But not all parts of the car have the same warranty duration. While some parts have 3 or 4 year warranty, others can have up to 8 years - which is considered the lifetime of the car.
When you buy a new car or a used car, make sure you check the warranty conditions. This can save you a lot of trouble in the long run. All cars come with preventative maintenance instructions. You will be told when you need to give the car servicing or replacement of parts depending on the usage. Basic maintenance of a hybrid car is the same as a regular car and you will need to do the oil checks, air filter replacement, etc.
After the warranty expires for your car parts, even if it costs you slightly more, go for high quality parts made by the manufacturer. A cheap spare part may work just fine but the durability will always be lower and you may need to replace it more often which is not worth the trouble. The hybrid car battery is the most important as well as most expensive part of the car. You can do hybrid battery replacement on your own or you can go to the local auto dealer and get it done with the added expense of hourly charges. When you get it serviced according to the instructions, you may sometimes have to specify if you'd like extra checks of the engine winding equipment, electric parts, etc.
If you find that the car is giving you any trouble, don't wait for it to get worse before you see a mechanic. The earlier you detect and fix the problem, the less it will cost you. A hybrid car is a lot more complex than a regular car which most mechanics know how to fix. It is a good idea to go to an authorized dealer to get your car checked, fixed and even for the regular service. With the dealer, you may get a few services for free as well. In general hybrid batteries need replacement after 160,000 miles and you can wait till it dies to replace it as ‘s very expensive.
Extended warranties are also available with most manufacturers and should be made use of. When your car works fine, you may hesitate to spend on the extended warranty but remember that your car will get older when the warranty kicks in and you may be able to save a lot more. This holds true even if you plan to buy a used car. Don't buy a used car if the warranty has expired. If the warranty is close to expiration, you will be safe for a few years by paying a little extra for the extended warranty.
