Where does your plug-in energy come from???? There is a great place for electric vehicles, but like all fuels, we need to be realisitic about them and use them locally first. If you burn natural gas, or coal at a power plant and lose electricty to line loss on teh way to charging batteries that off gas, deteriorate and must be recycled at teh end of their life, then you have a very complex cradel to grave. If you just burned methane in your cars engien instead of at teh power plant you would not only be more efficient, with a simple cradle to grave, you would also be clenaing the air in metroploitan areas instead of emitiing polution at a power plant......

The Vehicle you drive is not as important as the fuel you choose.
That being said, no matter what fuel you use, it is best to use less of it.

Methane is the most abundant biofuel and burning it is actually doing more good than allowing it to escape into the atmosphere. Hybrid technology is great and fuel neutral, but todays hybrids that only burn gasoline, is only doing less bad.

I prefere to do more good than less bad.

Collect the methane from your waste and use it. They do it in Mexico and Scandinavia and the Scatergood facility in El Segundo from the L.A. sewage. Bio-methane is leading the highway back to hydrogen. Hydorgen is the most plentifull fuel human kind can possibly make. We must fully embrace teh natural gas stage of our fuel use evolution to be able to free teh carbon completely and burn cleanly.

A smaller efficient vehicle will not waste as much energy as this NIG SUV. It's more than not wasting oil, it's not wasting even clean energy.
If you check the Amory Lovins RMI.org website you will see that leas than 1% of the energy in a typical vehicles moves the person. 70% of vehicles have only 1 person in them most of the time.

We need to be much more efficient and not use oil or natural gas. We hit peak oil in the US in 1970 and now import 60% of our oil.
We hit peak natural gas in 2004 and now import from Canada who is running low.

Smaller , lighter more efficient vehicles with plug-in hybrid ability are the best choice. A bicycle can be a great choice for short trips for one person. If you need to take 6 people and equipmetn this SUV could be the right vehicle. Don't waste any energy, don't make pollution and be aware of the limits of fossil fuels.

Hello Jeff, thank you for your interest.

We are the only fuel system up-fitter in the state of utah that is a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers. All of our CNG fuel system upgrades are EPA compliant and integrate with OBD II. In Utah, only our Intergalactic built NGV's adhere to CGA, NFPA 52, USDOT, FMVSS, NGV2.2007 and NGV3.1. We build premium, bi-fuel, tri-fuel, multi-fuel, hydrogen (H2), methane (CNG), propane (LPG), electric (EV, HEV & PHEV), biodiesel (B100), SVO and ethanol (E85) automobiles, appliances and infrastructure.

If you are looking for the Federal tax credit, you will have to pay more to get less. Only dedicated fuel vehicles qualify for the incentive, and only vehicles over 8,000 GVWR make economic sense to recoup the extraneous cost involved with a dedicated fuel vehicle that does not work everywhere in todays infrastructure. Adding enough fuel storage capacity to give a dedicated fuel vehicle enough range to be viable is cost prohibitive in most applications. We also offer dedicated fuel systems for H2, CNG LNG, and LPG that do qualify for the pork available at the trough. Only Intergalactic built, American Fuel Vehicles work in todays infrastructure while paving the highway to a brighter future.

In addition, we offer technician training and franchising if you either want to build the vehicle of your dreams, or manage an Ecolonomic based business that is good for more than just the triple bottom line. With our RE-fuel centers and beyond compliance AFV's copied all over the country, the USA has the ability to drive clean and petroleum free. We measure our success, by the number of our ides that are copied amongst our competitors in the industry. We are leading the Clean Fuel Revolution and with Solutionaries like yourself driving clean too, we all get to be a part of another American Moment.

Thank You!
