;work" trucks or even as a semi. Then people also learned that to charge an electric battery cell to full capacity took at least four hours. The final reason that proved to be the clincher was that electric vehicles could not travel more than one hundred miles on a full charge. These reasons all combined to cause people to lose interest very quickly. Once the public lost interest auto manufacturers, except for the Japanese, scrapped all future plans for electric vehicles. The up and comer new alternative to follow electricity was the use of Hydrogen power cells. These vehicles harnessed the power of Hydrogen atoms to produce power. The main benefit to these Hydrogen vehicles was the only emission produced was pure water. People immediately thought that this was also our great solution when in fact it was only another well thought but non-practical idea. The negatives to Hydrogen were very numerous. The first was Hydrogen power cells were extremely heavy and large which would make them impossible to be used in most cars and trucks. The Hydrogen power cells and engines also proved to be much too expensive. A complete vehicle with both the engine and power cells would prove to have a price tag exceeding one hundred thousand dollars. A price that nearly no one could stand for or afford. Once these facts were introduced, people didn't give Hydrogen vehicles a second thought. Right now the only vehicles in the world that run on Hydrogen are 4 sole commuter buses in London, England. Then came the idea of alcohol powered cars. The only benefit for vehicles to run on alcohol was the extreme horsepower that resulted from its use. Engines could see a net gain of nearly three times as much more horsepower than they would usually have. The public saw this and thought, "Wow, we need to make th
