Alternative fuel vehicle question? Alright I%26#039;m going to start off with my friends tell me that hybrids and vehicles that use like wind, solar do not have the power to run where I live (mountainous areas) Is this true? Also are there any alternatives that would perform well around mountain areas.

  • well with the mountains it depends how high or low you are if you are to have solar power cars or anything else!! but there are many diffrent kind of cars that will help the enviorment!! like there would be kars that could run on water!! 1 gallon could run for 30 min!!

    but itll depend on where you live in the mountians and what part!
  • In the town i live in, the taxi service uses hybrids, they go into the mountains as good as any other cars.
    and while electric vehicles use up more power going up hill, they still are able to do it. jcms
  • No, it%26#039;s not true. Hybrids are just like regular gas cars, except they%26#039;re more efficient at using the energy in the gasoline. They can do anything a standard car can do.
  • Depends on how high the mountains are... Gas engines loose X amount of horsepower per foot above sea level. So your hybrid with what, 4 cylinder 100 something horsepower engine would be at a disadvantage. That only depends on your elevation tho
  • The power is puny for what U need...
