Making sense of electric vehicle tax credits and incentives
If you were thinking about purchase a low speed three or four wheeled vehicle, now is the time. There are both tax exemptions and tax credits in place, which will be ending on December 31, 2009. If you purchase a 3 wheeled vehicle like a Xebra truck or sedan, you will receive a 10% federal tax credit up to $2500 maximum. If you purchase a four wheeled electric vehicle like a Kurrent, you will receive a $2500 tax credit ! Plus you do not have to pay sales tax. Read the rest of this entry »
New Product Profile —The GoPet Electric Scooter!!
Posted by admin in General News on December 8th, 2009
Green Car Company is proud to now carry the new electric scooter, the GoPet. You can stand up or sit down or even haul a little trailer with it. We like to call it the “Zappy on steroids” since it is much more powerful than the Zappy scooter which it resembles. It has a top speed of 16mph and a 16 mile range. It can go on sidewalks, bike trails, inside stores and warehouse. It has the same priviliges as a mobility scooter. This is definitely not grandma’s scooter though. The GoPet is super torque and loads of fun. It has both fleet and recreational uses. Come by today and take it for a quick test spin. During our special End of the Year Sale, all Go Pets are $100 off! [click here]

Green Cleaning - It’s a Lot More Simple (And Inexpensive) Than You Think!
By Dee Braun
We hear it all over the place - organic this, green that, natural hear, herbal there. If you’re anything like me, a busy, working single mom, you may have put off learning about all this ‘Green Hype’ simply because you don’t have time for one more thing. I understand!
And, on top of the time issue, what about cost? If you go through the grocery store produce isles and take a good look, I can guarantee you that anything labeled “organic” is going to cost significantly more than our old pesticide-ridden veggies! Read the rest of this entry »

Are Electric Bikes the Answer to High Gas Prices?
By Delbert Laird
Picture the following scenario: You just arrived home from a hectic work day. At this point, all you really want to do is eat dinner and relax. Only one problem: you don’t have a particular item that you need to make the dinner. Suddenly, you’re dreading a drive to and from the store, and the time, traffic, and gas expenses that go with it.
Now consider this alternative: instead of hopping into the car and driving congested city streets to the market for just one or two items, you zip there quickly along sidewalks and other paths on which cars are prohibited, propelled by the quiet electric motor of your electric bicycle. With the money you’re saving on gas, you decide to pick up a bottle of wine to go with that dinner. It’s OK - the small trailer you’ve hitched to your electric bike lets you carry home your groceries easily and safely. Read the rest of this entry »

So you want to make your own biodiesel…
I knew I was hooked when I took my first sip of a liquid I realized could power a car, was clean enough to drink, and that I could make myself for less than a dollar a gallon. This was also back in ’03, when the Iraq war was starting, and I found myself getting excited about the idea of making my own fuel as one thing I could do to remove myself from supporting the petroleum economy. Making your own fuel is revolutionary in the same way as getting your food from local farms; in both cases you’re relying on local sources instead of mega-corporations. It’s even more fun when you get together with others and form a fuel-making coop with everyone gathering oil from local restaurants, as I did three years ago with the Dirty Hands Biodiesel Coop. Whatever your motivation, whether you are doing it by yourself or with others, making your own biodiesel fuel can be a rewarding activity. But there are some things to think about.
