Have you ever stopped to wonder why the green carbon free trend seems to have passed over the larger vehicles that are on the road? Sure they arenow operating by much tighter fuel standards but go attempt to rent or buy a hybrid or fully electric hummer or large customized limousine.

The Technology is Available

The problem isn't that the technology is not available. In fact, it is. Arnold Schwarzenegger for instance, recently had a Hummer converted to green technology. The real hero of this new revolution is Neil Young that recently had his classic Lincoln converted to fully electric.

An 8,000 Pound Electric Lincoln

His car weighs in at four tons or 8,000 pounds but it is a high performance vehicle that will go over 100 mph. Also, it will accelerate from zero to sixty in five & a ½ seconds & will go sixty miles before needing to be recharged.

A Very Expensive Conversion

The problem, is that for a limousine service to adopt this level of technology into their vehicles just isn't cost effective at this time. For instance, the motor conversion alone in these types of heavy larger vehicles costs the owner over $100,000 & that just whats under the front hood.

A Limousine With No Trunk Space

Another problem at the moment is that the batteries & hydrogen or propane tanks completely fill the space that the trunk in a limousine now occupies. This would be a big problem for people who had luggage.

Get Ready for A Green Limousine Service

So for the time being, with the cost considerations & the other problems involved such as the vanishing trunk, a fully green limousine service will just have to wait. However; all that it would take is for the cost of gasoline to shoot up to $8 per gallon & it eventually will & you be seeing green limousine services springing up.
