Did You Know... that there was an Electric Car made back in 1914 called the (Brougham Cinderella Coach) that would get 211 miles per charge and go over 65 MPH. It's power came from only 14 six volt Edison batteries.
At one point there was more Electric cars on the roads then Gas cars. So what happened you ask?...You only need to ask yourself, If they could do that back then. Why can't they do that now...But only better!?
.... They won't because they have all of us paying high prices for Gas and Oil and Spark Plugs and Antifreeze and every other thing that a Gas Motor needs. The electric cars were just to Good!
...Then, Flash Forward to GM's EV-1 Electric Car. Every single car was taken back from their owner who leased them and then crushed and destroyed, even though every single owner offered to buy them. This was the first time this has happened in the history of the automobile! GM never wanted to sell this car to anyone this is why it was never advertised even though it was built for almost 10 years! Watch the movie ("Who Killed the Electric Car")
We are being lied to people! Time to wake up! If they can make a 9 volt battery put out 600,000 volts in a stun gun then what could they do in an Electric car.
Just think of how much would be saved...No Engine, NoValves, NoPistons, No Spark Plugs, No Timing Belt, No Crankshaft, NoTransmission, No Starter,
No Tune-Up's, NoGas, No Clutch, No Exhaust, No Muffler, No More Smog Checks, No Dipsticks and No Oil Changes!
Now check this out... www.zapworld.com www.teslamotors.com
There are even more if you do a search! They want to keep us in Big, Oversized Gas Hogs! Because they make the most money that way!

Why is it do you think that GM (Who Crushed & Destroyed all of the EV1's) and all of the other car builders want to keep us in some sort of Hybrid or Gas powered cars when they Know that Right Now they could be building an ALL ELECTRIC Car that will get 300 miles to a charge and do speed of 180 mph plus??? Don't believe me? Watch "Who Killed The Electric Car" or go to www.teslamotors.com and see for yourself!
The Car companies don't want anyone to know this because they make too much money building Gas Engines Cars with all of the parts that they all need over time! Just do some research. Type in Electric Cars under any search engine and you will see. Or keep paying for Gas and Oil Changes, Spark Plugs, Wires, Tune Up's, Smog Checks, Timing Belts, Starters, Transmission Fixes, Ect.......None of this and a lot more do not come with an electric car! So ask yourself, Why don't they want you driving Electric Cars again? Because they would be loosing TRILLIONS of Dollars on Oil and Parts!!!
They want to keep us (The Junkies) hooked up to OIL!!! ......THINK ABOUT IT!....Then watch all of this on YouTube!!!

Don't think Electric is the way to go? Then check this out....

ELECTRIC, ELECTRIC, ELECTRIC!!!! Solar Panel Roof Tiles!....http://www.premierpower.com/solar_energy_residential/roof_solar_tile.php
IT IS EASY... Stop Driving Gas Powered Cars!!!
The average person drives less then 29 miles a day. We can recharge new Batteries up to 200,000 miles on a car without just throwing them away! (9000 cycles on some new electric cars) Batteries can also be recycled!
Cars can also be recharged from the heat from the Sun...They are called "Solar Panels" You can get enough energy from the New "Roof Tile" Solar Panels (These are now as thin as normal roof tiles) These will not only Power All of the Electric needs of your house But also your electric car and then have enough energy left over to sell back to the Electric Co... (This is happening right now) They also make a car that runs on compressed AIR!
Do some research with your spare time! www.zapworld.com www.teslamotors.com www.theaircar.com There are people in California and AZ. that will convert your gas car to Electric for under $10,000 (Look It Up)
