PARKER, CO. ELECTRIC VEHICLE MANUFACTURING COMES TO COLORADO.

Electric CarS.T. Tripathi today announced that Electric City Motors North America has been issued a State of Colorado Manufacturing License. Electric City Motors will now move forward with North American manufacturing of its one of a kind electric highway vehicle, the Current, and will have dealers in Colorado and Florida very soon.

The Current has passed the highway crash test in order to be approved for highway driving. This vehicle will travel up to 75 mph with a 0-60 speed of 4.9 seconds.

When you drive this car it will feel like you have the power of a V-8 under the hood.

This is a 4-door front wheel drive sedan with: driver and passenger air bags; air conditioning,
heating system, and power locks all as standard equipment. The Current will also come in the following colors: white, red, light blue, dark blue, yellow, black, silver, and green. Customers will be able to upgrade to leather interior if ordered.

A complete charge of this electric vehicle will take a maximum of 1-2 hours and provide up to 200
miles traveling time. With most people traveling 29 miles or less commuting to work, this vehicle will
provide transportation for the week without having to recharge. The investment to charge this vehicle is only 2(two) cents per mile compared to an average 35 cents per mile investment with the average gasoline powered vehicle. In simpler terms, the average person spends 18 times more to drive their present vehicle.

Zero maintenance cost and zero emissions from the Current are two of the major benefits of
owning this vehicle in addition to the fuel cost savings. Also, owners of this vehicle can say goodbye to the thousands of dollars in depreciation they incur as soon as they drive their gas-powered vehicle off the dealer lot.

The Current, with air conditioning, will retail for $28,995. Vehicles will begin arriving in 90 days
and deposits are currently being taken at Colorado Auto Connection in Parker, Colorado.

Florida school district receives hybrid school buses.(Industry Report)

Source: Electric and Hybrid Vehicles Today

Publication Date: 12-MAR-07

The School District of Manatee County in Bradenton, Fla., will become the first school district in the country to receive hybrid school buses through the Plug-In Hybrid Electric School Bus Project.

Manatee School District’s two hybrid school buses are part of the 19 hybrid buses awarded nationwide by Advanced Energy, a non-profit corporation that initiated a buyer’s consortium of school districts, state energy agencies and student transportation providers.

The hybrid school buses provide 70%-100% better fuel economy and a 90% reduction in diesel engine emissions.

The buses use Enova’s charge depleting system. With an overnight charge, the system uses a larger battery based on advanced battery chemistry that provides stored energy intended to be drawn down over the driving cycle, thus optimizing fuel economy.

Presently most of the world uses three non-renewable fossil fuel sources in addition to nuclear energy to generate electricity: coal, natural gas and petroleum. Also used in significant quantity is hydroelectric power generation. In limited quantity we see some geo-thermal production and limited quantities of wind turbines.

Since fossil fuels are essentially finite in total availability over the long haul, new sources of creating electricity will have to be found or existing alternative methods made profitable.

For instance, present photo-voltaic methods cost some US$0.023 to US$0.32 per kilo-watt hour which is current KWH prices in the USA range from USS$0.058 to US$0.l67.

Geothermal sources provide less than 1/2% of electricity in the USA and their cost effectiveness presently is limited to areas where geothermal activity is relatively close to the surface of the earth.

Wind turbines generate less than 1/2% of electricity in the USA. In most places the cost of this wind power is not yet fully price competitive but the efficiency of wind turbines is improving and capacity has grown to well over US$4 billion annually in the USA but still less than 1/2% of all electricity produced.

Innovation in most industries comes from small companies that develop a breakthrough technology.

In the foreseeable future (10 to 15 or 20 years out), what do you see as the source(s) to replace fossil fuels for the production of electricity that most of us do not presently have in our viewfinders?
