 Later, Thorium based cars are likely to come.
The initial 5 gram of Thorium will fuel your car for rest of its life ( 10 years or 300,000 miles, which ever is earlier).
While this sounds interesting what is the total mass of thorium that is extractible on planet earth?

Wikipedia tells me:
On Earth, thorium is not a rare element as was previously thought, having an abundance comparable to that of lead and molybdenum, twice that of arsenic, and thrice that of tin.
Thorium minerals occur on all   continents. Thorium is several times more abundant in Earth's crust than all isotopes of uranium combined and thorium-232 is several hundred times more abundant than uranium-235.

That isn't the problem. The problem would be that the reactor to extract the energy of fissioning Thorium would weigh MUCH more than the rest of the car.
