Why Electric?

In an all-electric car, high energy density and light weight rechargeable lithium ion batteries are used. The batteries can be charged simply by using household electricity outlets which are discharged to power electric motors with zero emissions.

Electric cars are very reliable and maintenance free. There is no need of oil changes and filter change and tuning. Electric Vehicles have fewer than 1/10th as many parts as a gas car. There's no engine, transmission, spark plugs, valves, fuel tank, tailpipe, distributor, starter, clutch, muffler or catalytic converter.

The best way to reduce carbon emissions is to utilize the ever cleaner, greener, more renewable grid to power transportation. Only grid-rechargeable cars can attain the end goal of zero-emissions and ensure fuel price stability.

Why Battery Electric Vehicle and Not Fuel Cell?

  • Fuel Cells consumes 4 times as much electricity per mile as similarly sized Battery Electric Vehicle.
  • Fuel Cells require electricity to compress Hydrogen.
  • Fuel Cells-Hydrogen emits 12.5 kg of Carbon-di-Oxide per kg of Hydrogen produced.
  • Driving range of Battery Electric Vehicle is 2 times compared to Fuel Cell Vehicle using same vehicle weight.
  • Fuel Cell Vehicle fueling and system is complicated compared to Battery Electric Vehicle plug-in system.
  • Fuel cell hydrogen tank safety is a major concern.
