Running on Empty: Cars that Never Need Gas

From the Sierra Club comes more good news on the fully electric car. Electric cars are becoming competetive. Not only that but they're coming with solar chargers. Completely free fuel(once the car and equipment are paid off of course).
Here's more:

"There are hybrids. There are electric cars that plug into a wall and get their juice from whatever mix the electric company is offering. And then there are electic cars that are charged by solar panels on the roof of one's house. They never need gas, and the power is free after the set-up cost..."










Darrell Dickey with his RAV4 EV and daughter Kyra.

"Five years ago, I spent about $45,000 and got a brand new car (the RAv4EV) and the solar system," he says. "We're still driving the car every day, and the solar system will continue to make fuel for whatever EV we drive in the future. For $45,000 we bought a new car and fuel for the rest or our lives."
