These days, it’s not only the small cars that want to be green. Just recently, Racer Technologies just used its Extended Range Electric Vehicle (E-REV) powertrain technology on the Hummer H3. As a result, our good-old H3 became the Raser Electric Hummer that boasts a 100 MPG and range of over 60 miles.
Basically, Raser’s powertrain technology is built for big vehicles such as SUVs and trucks. Because half of America’s vehicles come from these classes, using Raser’s technology will significantly improve fuel efficiency and mileage. The best thing about the Raser Electric Hummer is that it’s a plug-in hybrid. That means it is propelled by an electrical motor and not an internal combustion engine. Aside from that, the Raser Electric Hummer has a small internal combustion engine to make sure that batteries are charged and as a result, the batteries’ lives are extended.
So how does the Raser Electric Hummer move? Basically, all of its power comes from 200-kilowatt AC induction motor. It’s directly connected to the vehicle’s transmission, sharing its power to the front and rear axles. Overall, the Raser Electric Hummer can travel from 360 to 400 miles by simply using its fully-charged batteries.

There is no question that the best way to alter the effects of global warming is to just simply turn all the cars we have into electric. And your article couldn’t be a greater proof of that.

Hello Mr. Carzone, yeah I agree with everything that you say. If we can only transform all automobiles to become green autos, this world is a better place to live in.
