YOUR Savings from Driving Electric
YOU
are the perfect person to drive an electric car...
IF YOU:
Make commutes alone or with one other person.
Drive 30 miles or less a day (double that if you can re-charge at
your destination!)
Seek to encourage new technologies important to our environmental
and political survival, and are willing to support this effort using
the language car makers understand and will respond to... your money.
Want to shake up the establishment that has resisted forging ahead
to make the world a better place.
Would enjoy passing up gas stations, thus keeping your dollars in
your pocket and out of foreign entities that threaten our survival.
See the wisdom in backing a fuel alternative that does not require
a huge investment in developing a nation-wide infrastructure (electric
cars are powered using something everyone already has... an electrical
outlet!).
Have a business that can benefit from added exposure while promoting
a positive, environment-friendly, cutting-edge image. Enjoy,
making people smile (when was the last time you smiled at a car?).
SmartWheels
seeks to provide a variety of all electric vehicles so multi-vehicle
families can choose one of them for their many short, limited- passenger
trips.
Some Important Facts:
• Electricity is the most efficient fuel on the planet for transportation,
costing approximately $0.02 (that's right... 2 cents) per mile driven.
• A multiple-vehicle family typically needs one full-size, unlimited-range
vehicle. Most, however, will save time and money by also owning
an all-electric vehicle and using it for short trips... the trips
that presently use the most gasoline and create the largest amount
of pollution. An all-electric vehicle is the perfect second
or third vehicle for transportation, good stewardship of resources,
and cost-effective travel.
• As hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually on new battery
development, and entrepreneurs take existing technology and make it
work better, we anticipate the batteries used in today's electric
vehicles will serve drivers well, and then be replaced in the future
by new electric storage devices that are sure to improve range.
• With an electric vehicle you can bypass the gas pumps... and forget
oil changes, oil filters and emission control inspections! Refuel
it like you do your cell phone... at night just plug it in to any
convenient electrical outlet. As an added incentive to driving
electric, there are numerous tax credits and insurance discounts.
