GoingGreen Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I was out and about this weekend and I saw a Honda Element towing an identically painted trailer. It was the Galapolos Green, and looked really neat. I started doing some research and discovered this was a Little Guy. http://www.golittleguy.com/cms I did some looking around the site and saw the very same person in their photo gallery. Pretty cool, I think... What I'd like to know is if there are plans on a Hybrid Element and secondly if those trailers could be wired to collect power for the vehicle by use of solar panels... If anyone knows, please respond...I am looking for something like that and am thinking that I will get something done in 12 months or less...

Hatch92 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 i don't know much about the hybrids coming out not but the idea of using the trailer to collect/store solar energy would be a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprtbiker Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 I know there are places that will gut your car to make it into an electric car. I don't know if you would want to do it to a new car. GM came out with an electric car in CA but for some reason they recalled all of them and never built another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 The Chevy Evolt (I think it's called) looks pretty sick. If you drive less than 35 miles it's all electric and recharges in a couple hours. More than that and it gets 150 mpg. That's progress. There's no way I will tow around a trailed just to utilize some inefficient solar panels. Though, now that Honda's working on solar technology maybe we'll see some sick stuff with that too.

sprtbiker Posted November 14, 2007 Share Posted November 14, 2007 UK came out with an all electric car called G-Wiz or something. It looks like a small box but it has 0 emissions and it can probably park anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Nothing has 0 emissions. That electricity has gotta come from somewhere. Until we switch to entirely solar/hydro/wind power, that is. I read that to power the USA entirely on wind power we'd need to replace some mid-west state with only wind-generators. I was like, "That's not that bad..."
