Michael Your Questions About Electric Cars For Kids

Michael asks…

I get so irritate at the college kids at my school whose parents make 60K or more a year and complain that?

they don’t get a pell grant and I do. I’m so sick of them calling me lazy and poor when I go to college and work two jobs to pay my rent, electric bill, and my car insurance for my car that I bought myself. These are the kids that have new cars and go shopping on their parents money while I work my ass off. Why do they always have something to complain about when everything is handed to them?

admin answers:

Wow. You must be in America!

As to their comments towards you…What business of their’s is it? Shouldn’t they be partying and failing college?

It’s because they’re brats. Lord knows they probably didn’t get scholarships.

Lizzie Your Questions About Electric Cars For Kids

Lizzie asks…

If you could would you Build an electric car?

If you could build an electric car would you choose to or stay with oil? As oil prices are now I believe that everyone should want an electric car.
I saw a thing on the News a few weeks ago and a kid in Michigan built an electric car on a minimum wage job. He spent 6,000$ converting the car to electric but it would be well worth it in the end. Instead of paying upward from 40-60 dollars a full tank of gas a week he paid only 15-20 dollars a month. Now if you spend 40$ as a base every week on gas for a month that’s 160$.

On a website I found how to convert a car to Electric from between 5,000$ and 10,000$. This would be an investment to me.

I figure we need to switch to electric as it’s a renewable energy source. What do you think?

admin answers:

She it I do is wrong about batteries on several points.

About charging the battery wearing it out, and needing to replace it, he’s talking about lead acid batteries. They’re awful batteries, but they’re good at one thing — starting engines — so they took over the world! Correct batteries for electric cars were developed by none other than Thomas Edison — his NiFe “Edison Cells” last many decades, we have some at railway museums that still work fine. A cousin to the NiFe is the NiMH used in some hybrids.

Best recharge time 6 hours? Come on, it was 90 minutes on the EV1, and I can charge my camera batteries in 15 minutes http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GF2L7E/ref=wolfharper-20

The battery won’t “just go dead”. The battery meter will tell you exactly what you got, so you’ll know. And unlike a gas car, when an electric gets into trouble it can still limp for miles. Last I looked there are power plugs everywhere. Pull up at a restaurant, ask the manager if you can plug in, enjoy a meal, good2go. Try that in a gas car.

Thomas Your Questions About Electric Cars For Kids

Thomas asks…

With gas pries not going down, doesn’t this mean I should get an electric car?

People’s lifestyles as you’ve known them for years will make a change in everyday life as you look all around you with how gas has now gotten high and will stay high-priced. You may “control your spendings”, but you can’t ignore the fact that people have always budgeted evern before gas was $2.00 a gallon, and some of these people just barely got as it is, now imagine those people now. And when you “control” your expenditures” even more like you tell everyone, you don’t seem to understand that some people’s businesses have stayed in business because people had that extra money left over from budgeting when gas was less than $2.00 a gallon, but now, those same people who still budget can’t go to those places, and it has caused lay-offs and businesses to shut down. You seem to think “just control your spending” and it’ll all work out, but you are forgetting places like coffee shops and kids who have to get laid off because of less customers. And don’t say “walk or ride the bike”, because when you need to go somewhere, you’re being unrealistic, we don’t have major speed bike lanes like Europe has, and you say they have gas at near $10 a gallon, they has bike lanes, and they have way more connected trains and subways everywhere than we have, so high gas prices hurt Americans more than Europeans.

Soooooo, with all that being said, there must be an alternative to get from Point A to Point B and still get there in the same period of time.
Electric cars, solar cars, nuclear cars, wind-powered cars, whatever,.. they must be an alternative if the economy is going to get back on its feet.
Everyone agree?

admin answers:

There are alternatives; but, plugging in isn’t it. Look at the cost per gallon for gas, then look at the cost per kwh and the amount of kwh required to recharge. Many who will reply are products of outcome based education; where they provide wrong answers but still feel good about themselves because it sounded good.
