Is it possible or logical to switch my car engine for a green one?
I'm nearly 17, and for my birthday im getting a 2002 Mark 2 Renault Clio, now if im honest im a bit of a hippie ahah, i recycle nearly everything i can, i compost, i dont waste water and turn off all unused plugs etc..
so the thought of causing pollution worries me, and i was wondering if its possible, logical and how much it would cost to get a hybrid engine for my car? or at least change something in it to make it more environmentally friendly.
thanks for any help!
Congratulations for wanting to drive green!
Converting your Renault to a hybrid power train would not be practical. I won't say it's impossible, but it would cost several times what a brand new Toyota Prius off the showroom floor would cost.
You could convert it to all electric, but even that would cost anywhere from $10,000 - $35,000. It would require a lot of special tools, mechanical skill, and a well equipped workshop.
Your best bet it to drive the car very conservatively and install an aftermarket computer that reads out your MPG while driving. You'll develop gas saving driving habits until you can save up enough money for one of the plug-in cars coming out in the next few years.
If you have the time and money and you're determined to convert your Renault to an EV, there's a ton if information and resources on the Web. Search Google for "electric vehicle conversions"
Another option is to buy a used Prius and convert it to plug-in. A local garage can do that for you. I've driven one and I can get over 82 MPG combined city/highway with a 44 mile a day commute. It charges up with about 50 cents worth of electricity per day.
The add on battery systems for the Prius offered by HyMotion and 3-Prong cost a little over $10,000 installed. They are not perfect, but they will have to do until The plug-in vehicles from the major manufacturers start coming out.
Check out the August 2009 issue of Car and Driver. They review four new models.
Electric cars are coming and cities and businesses are already installing the charging stations in public parking areas.
Hope this helps.
