Hi guys! Are you all aware of the race around the globe that has been going on since August? It's starting up again in Vancouver on November 7th. Go here to find out more: http://www.zero-race.com/ There are 4 Electric cars involved. Our company Potential Difference has patented the technology to convert cars to Electric and our High performance all-electric demonstration car - one of very few running all-electric luxury 5 Passenger Sedans - has arrived! Top speed is over 100 mph, and range between charges is 140 miles. We used a brand new Acura TL as the chassis and body shell around an all-electric drive train that we have built, powered by 40 kilowatt hours of lithium iron phosphate batteries. Recharge time is about 3 hours. This car could be the support vehicle which transports race director Louis Palmer through the North American leg of the Zero Emissions race (Vancouver, San Fran, LA, Austin, Cancun, Mexico City and then back towards Europe and on to the finish line in Geneva). We need YOUR HELP - to make this possible!! You can follow us on Twitter: www.twitter.com/electriccartour "Like" our Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/PotentialDifference9 to find out more details! I'd love to hear what you think about this project. We have 26 days to go to raise some money to get us in and help support this Global drive towards NO MORE GASOLINE!! |

And only one of them is actually a car, the other two are motorycles. I attend the first day of their journey driving up a mountain pass in Switzerland and and it was great fun. But I also do see that the interest of the public in such events has dropped a little. There are now so many zero emission events already, that a certain grade of saturation has been reached. Don't get me wrong, interest in EVs is still on the rise, but with events like this becoming more frequent, the interest in each event decreases. potentialdifference wrote: This car could be the support vehicle which transports race director Louis Palmer through the North American leg of the Zero Emissions race (Vancouver, San Fran, LA, Austin, Cancun, Mexico City and then back towards Europe and on to the finish line in Geneva). I thought that Louis Palmer would use his own support vehicle...like he did so far... potentialdifference wrote: I'd love to hear what you think about this project.

Is the highest paying contender getting the support vehicle job then? Can you elaborate on this? Twike 890
