Wouldn't it be called an electric peddle?

I want to add to the comments above that the gov't is taking over power plants so when they make the switch from gas to electric and the gas stations they will charge you like 30 to 40 dollars just to charge up your car. If you want a car that is green build it yourself. I have plans on building a truck that runs off of air. Just keep it simple and you can build anything!

Charging your car can get annoying. People get Lazy to even plug-in their cell phone, what makes you think they will charge their car after they park-it in the Garage? However the benefits far outweigh the costs. Electric Cars get $.02 cents a mile, $6.75 to Fully Charge. 150 MPG.  Thats 5X's the MPG of a regular gasoline car. Electric cars should improve in range thus charging will lessen to about once a week. I personally don't mind charging my car everyday. It's fun.

@character654 4.The challenges facing the use of hydrogen in vehicles include production, storage, transport and distribution. Because of all these challenges, the well-to-wheel efficiency for hydrogen is less than 25%

@Htimez2 And to boot, electricity is not a soarse of power. We create electricity by using other fossil fuels.

There is another way. All one has to do is to change the direction of the pull of gravity.
