Home Made Electric Car

David Murray may drive the quietest car in North Texas, powered only by a small electric motor, and not creating any emissions.

"The most common question I get is, 'Is this an electric car?' and then they're like, "Is it a hybrid?' Nope, it's a real electric (car)," Murray said.

When his car is low on fuel, Murray simply plugs the power cord into the nearest outlet.

"Yeah, just plug it in here. Just a regular old extension cord," Murray said.

The self-described computer geek from Kennedale bought the 1993 Eagle Talon from a junkyard for just $750.

"First thing I did when I got the car home was pull the engine out," Murray said.

He then spent about $4,000 more to convert the gas-guzzler to run on electricity alone, doing all the work himself in his garage at home.

"I bought the electric motor and I was like well, I gotta figure out a way to couple it together with the original transmission," he said.

The car can hit 55 mph, driving right past the high prices at gas stations.

"I hear people complain about them at work all the time. I just grin," he said.

Murray spends just $7 per month on electricity to charge the batteries -- enough to go about 300 miles.

"I don't even look at the gas prices," Murray said.

electric vehicles are FAR superiour in performance and quietness and fast exceleration. Good job.

The average electric car does 300 miles to the charge fossile burners dont get near that milage.......

Rev. Gadget had a car that would go 250 miles between charges and that was in '07. Said he was working on one that would go 500 miles, at 70mph.

Well, I'm out. 35 mile round trip commute. And I dont think the boss would think too highly of an extension cord stretched from the parking lot to the building.

Battery Tech is currently advanced enough to provide enough energy for daily commuting. How often does an average person really go further than 100 miles in a day. According to the DOT not many. Society will have to adapt its thinking. Renting a car for those times to visit grandma and an electric daily commuter is a more efficient means of transportation.

300miles per gallon equivalent. MPGe.

@SuperAngelwalker My Bronco II actually gets 320 miles to a tank (20 gallon tank though). Used to get up to 400 miles to a tank but its in desperate need of a tune-up.

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls I bet,you, my friend, are even a SLAVE TO DEBT? do you owe anyone? I OWE,I OWE,I OWE,so off to work I Go.THE BANKS AND THE CAR MAKERS ,NEVER WANT YOU OUT OF DEBT,MY FRIEND.

@MrTpengineer Still Ur whole roof wouldnt have enough square feet for to run your car 200 miles a day and thats what we need.

dont get me wrong im pro electric cars but jumping the gun could end in it beeing thrown over board for something like the hydrogen car. my way would be:

solve the problem of produceing mass energie and then we can start building stuff that uses that energy..

[MrTpengineer]

@Emu1gmx Alot of people will have solar panels or wind turbines already at mind, i don't think there going to buy a ev just so coal and gas power plants would use more resources? People are even putting solar panels on there garage roofs just to charge there ev's :) Batteries can be recylce and used.

[MrTpengineer]

@yTubeBlowsBigBalls Well there the best we can do for now, I hear of a battery being developed that has "nano cells" and is suppost to be way more eficient that lithium ion batteries, the downside is there going to be way more expensive :(

[yTubeBlowsBigBalls]

@MrTpengineer Sure is, that's why I love electrics, and you can make pretty mean machines out of them. Too bad batteries suck.
