PhotoHunt - Electric

During a working trip to San Diego a few years ago, my hubby was fortunate to have an opportunity to visit the exhibition of electric vehicles. Several electric cars and plug- in hybrids ranging from vintage to modern classic sports cars were on display, drawing big crowds of car lovers. Being a car enthusiast, my hubby just couldn't stop admiring those gorgeous electric cars and taking pictures of them.

I believe most of us might not know much about electric cars so, I surfed the net for some information. The article at this page describes the following:

Electric and hybrid cars both use technology that is designed to decrease the use of gasoline fuel for powering car engines. Electric cars are totally electric, meaning that they must be plugged in and charged, and that the range of the car is only as far as the charge. Hybrid use a mixture of gas and electric power to create a gas efficient partially electric car with a less limited range.

  19. Those cars are worth checking in an exhibition. Why didn't they invent electric and hybrid cars in the beginning so that we wouldn't have had problems with gasoline price hike.

    The last car looks so cool with a touch of art on it.

  20. Hi LR! we might consider hybrid for our next purchase but it will still depend on the availability and the budget.

  36. I love the design of electric cars, but they wouldn't be practical for Upstate New York. We can barely get through the snow and heavy rain with our gas-powered cars and trucks!

    Happy weekend!
