A Glendale, Arizona man converted a 1966 Porsche into a battery-operated electric vehicle because he is fed up with paying high has prices.

Check out these green vehicles of the future! Searching for new renewable energy sources to power our cars and homes has become a way of life in recent year. These are new advances that have been made with “green automobiles”.

I just came across this amazing technological advancement! A water powered car, with gas prices so damn high this should turn a lot of heads. Take a look at this MSNBC video on the H20 car. The company has just applied for a patent and plans to continue advancing their technology. Apparently 1 liter of water can keep the car running at 50 mph for 1 hour!

The 2008 fortwo is a 2-door, 2-passenger family coupe, or convertible, available in 3 trims, ranging from the pure to the passion cabriolet.

Upon introduction, both trims are equipped with a standard 1.0-liter, I3, 70-horsepower engine that achieves 33-mpg in the city and 41-mpg on the highway. A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard.

Pros- Great fuel economy, super fun to drive, safe, affordable

Cons- no arm rests, no cruise control, strong cross winds can be a problem

MSRP:$11,590 - $16,590

With gas prices on the rise smart cars and energy friendly alternatives are at an all time popular!

Here are some pics, I’m sure you’ve had the pleasure of gawking at a few of them while on the road.
