One year after the launch of www.CarFreeLA.com, I decided to head to the 2007 Pasadena Earth Day Festival to take a look at what’s going on in the green world. As many of you may know, www.CarFreeLA.com was started with a vow of mine to not purchase another vehicle until a 100% zero-emissions vehicle was available. Well folks, it looks like I won’t be waiting much longer. Phoenix Motors, out of Ontario California, today debuted their Zero Emissions Sports Utility Truck. I took this quick …
NiMH is the ONLY proven chemistry….LiON is a way to push the whole EVident EV change over back a few years…
I’m in ….6 months with the 2000 Ford Ranger NiMH EV has shown me….I.C.E. is DEAD!
Why not put Solar Palels on the Flat Bed Cover so I can let it charge 8 to 10 hours while I’m at work.
I see a lot of confusion here over Lithium batteries. Cars do not use Lithium-Ion batteries. They use Lithium-Iron which is different and much safer. They will not explore or catch on fire.
This is sure looking better. hope to see this company strive. anyone know if the materials are made in usa? i’m from canada but i love to see americans do ‘mselves good. if they can make these ev’s in the usa w/no or at least very little outsourcing, it’d sure shine a light on the future. suddenly all those 6 oclock news stories that the sky’s falling due to oil would become laughable. Love to see more kits to convert old rear wheel drive’s to ev. pull the flathead out my old merc and ev it
that woman has so ugly voice!
wtf? does japs make cars todays? have seen only those tiny ricers
electric car news Altair International makes the battery in this video
March 5, 2008; GENEVA — Top executives from General Motors Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp. Tuesday expressed doubts about the viability of hydrogen fuel cells for mass-market production in the near term and suggested their companies are now betting that electric cars will prove to be a better way to reduce fuel consumption and cut tailpipe emissions on a large scale.
Because solar panels are not cheap. An extension cord is.
she says sells for 45k but are they actually for sale? have they sold even a single one?
or is she a liar
what are you smoking? they most certainly DO use Lithium ION batteries. 3 of my 4 homebuilt ev’s use Lithium-Ion battieries.
The most common chemistry is LiFePO4. Go look it up on the periodic table. Fe = Iron.
first they smashed the electric car now they will be building one again; they are afraid gasoline will go to $8/gal that is what they worry about and that no one will be buying these cars anymore
Go phonix lets smash this gasoline car makers and oil suppliers
phoenix should put solar panels all over the car so it would charge in the sun while you are shopping
thanks phoenix wish you the best
SUV selling in the low 30’s… I will have to look into that for sure.
Bullshit it’s not selling NOW…to the public that is. You can buy one if you have a 100,000$. They won’t give one up for less!
am i the only one who remembers the simpson episode when homer was with a secret society who was singing a song that had a line like; ‘who keeps away the electric car? we do!, we do!’
The Truck will be 47,500 and the SUV will be 54,000 according to Phoenix’s website (you have to hunt a bit) Right now you can only buy them for fleet use. Looks like we’ll have to wait until 2010 for a consumer version.
It gets 3.71 miles per kwh, so you can drive 10,000 miles for under $450 if your electric rate is $0.16 per kwh.
Some people are spending $20-30,000 to convert their cars. With this it’s in that same price range and it’s already electric!! Why is the Tesla Roadster getting so much attention when it’s so expensive?
EV IS THE FUTURE !

EV IS NOW!!!!
$45,000? Cheaper than a Tahoe!
Where is the vehicle? All the video i’v seen are two years old or older.
30 grand. I was gonna buy it but dang
