Consumer Electric Vehicles

The age of the mass-produced, affordable electric vehicle is upon us. And with the price of gas, while fluctuating, still rising year over year as available oil reserves dwindle, now is a great time to invest in the energy-saving technology of an electric vehicle.

Electric Car The "eBox" is a coverted Scion and was demonstrated in Aug. 2006 in Santa Monica by AC Propulsion. The eBox has a 140-180 mile range on a Lithium Ion battery pack, accelerates 0-60mph in under 7 seconds, has an electronically limited top speed of 90mph, and is propelled by a 120kW AC Propulsion drivetrain.

The power steering and air conditioning are fully functional. The Scion air conditioning system was left completely intact and the compressor is now driven by an accessory electric motor selected by AC. Imagine being able to keep the interior of a car cool on minimal power without having to run a noisy and polluting ICE (Internal Combustion Engine).
