What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.
It’s not easy to make a 1973 Opel GT sexier than it already is – but ripping out the engine to install an electric motor is a pretty good start, and that’s exactly what Texans Charlie and Tamara did! The married couple bought the Opel three years ago, and have been working to make the 70′s coupe into a forward-looking EV ever since.
California electric-vehicle manufacturer Epic uploaded a new promotional video yesterday, playing up the off-road capabilities of its AMP electric ATV. In the video (below) a team of environmentally-conscious hunters are enjoying Epic’s ultra-quiet and (therefor) super-sneaky side-by-side when they stumble upon some holographic alien technology lodged inside a human skull, which summons a giant wasp [...]
Gas 2 author Charis Michelsen drove out to Cape Girardeau, Missouri for the 2011 Electric Vehicle Conversion Convention (EVCCON), which runs through tomorrow at the Cape Girardeau regional airport.

The name Gordon Murray may mean something to you if you are a fan of Formula One racing. If not, well just know that this race car designer has penned some of the world’s most memorable supercars. Now he is using his skills to help solve the problem of sustainable transportation. His electric sports car, the Teewave AR1, certainly looks fast. Too bad it’s slower than a Prius.
