Electric , petrol-electric hybrid, solar powered these are some of the alternitve sources that cas can run on today. Due to a combination of heavy taxes on fuel or tightening environmental laws the potential for peak oil and the possibility of further restrictions on greenhouse gasses, work on alternative power systems for cars has become a high priority for governments and motor companies around the world.
Current research and development is largely centered on "hybrid" vehicles that use both electric power and internal combustion. The first hybrid vehicle available for sale in the United States was the Honda Insight, achieving around 70 miles per gallon. Other research and development efforts in alternative forms of power focus on developing fuel cells, alternative forms of combustion such as GDI and HCCI, and even the stored energy of compressed air. But now there are cars that are being tested by that can run on water.
