Our technology is so advanced basically in automobile sector. It has been in knowledge that automobiles are responsible for pollution. But to prove it false our scientists and technologists invented many precautions which are helping to protect our environment and minimize the pollution. They are also under observation and invention to make it more effective and generate a green-healthy environment. - Henery Fri, 19 Apr 2013 03:11:10 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/3838-finding-the-green-cars-at-naias-2013#comment-47978 Green cars are environment friendly and safe but there are certain limitations that make them less appealing to users. Range anxiety and battery charging are the two major problems that still persists and does not have any particular solution. If these problems can be sort out then green cars can be very popular. - Joanne Thu, 07 Mar 2013 08:31:11 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/3838-finding-the-green-cars-at-naias-2013#comment-47802 That's unfortunate to hear that the green car displays were a little bit fewer this year. We are hoping that the larger manufacturers like GM continue to take the lead in making green more mainstream and affordable. Penn State Students are trying to be leaders as well with their EcoCar2 Team and converting a 2013 Chevy Malibu into a hybrid, reducing reliance on petroleum and significantly improving gas mileage. - Arianna Gianakopoulos Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:25:38 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/3838-finding-the-green-cars-at-naias-2013#comment-47780 It is true that green technology was absent from this year’s show, but believe we will be seeing them a lot in near future. Some of the big names in the auto industry are leaning towards hybrid and electric cars. But it will take time for the regular people to afford these cars in more numbers as these cars are quite pricy. I hope that the prices of these cars will get down soon enough so that more people can buy them. - Ford F 150 Sacramento Mon, 21 Jan 2013 06:36:10 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/3838-finding-the-green-cars-at-naias-2013#comment-47773 It is impossible to drive green, but one can drive greener by using the highest mpg vehicle one can afford and at least, if not more, important by limiting travel. Two years ago I had to get a new car, so researched available 'green' possibilities. Electric cars did not make sense since ~80% of my electricity comes from coal-burning power plants, and you gotta plug in those cars. So, I'd be running on coal power. Thus, I decided on a hybrid, was hoping for 50 to 60 mpg which was a bust and found a Honda CRX which was in my price range. It averages about 38 mpg. As important, I've managed to drive it only 18,000 miles in 2 years burning about 240 gal of gas a year—not really green, but for me greener. Next time I think I'll get a horse :) - Kernos Sat, 19 Jan 2013 10:10:42 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/3838-finding-the-green-cars-at-naias-2013#comment-47763 We live in a world full of news, innovations and new contents that await for us. As I see it, people tend to only pay attention to new stuff. Maybe the whole concern about the environment is no longer hip, maybe people is getting tired of listening to the pessimistic (but realistic) issues that are threatening our world. Thus, car companies will have to prepare new slogans in order to catch consumer's attention. Hopefully, I am wrong. - carlos Wed, 16 Jan 2013 00:32:17 +0100
