Right Place Right Time for the Electric Kandi COCO Cars Hitting the US Roads
Electric Kandi COCO
Lynnwood, WA (PRWEB) March 12, 2009
About 100 electric Kandi COCO cars have arrived in the US for the mass market. The car is in the class of low-speed vehicles with the top speed of 25 MPH. The plug-in cars have the range of 50 to 60 miles per charge, perfectly suited to consumers who look for eco friendly and low-cost transportation in urban areas, campuses, rental fleet, and retirement and golf communities. Solus International Corporation, the exclusive importer of electric Kandi COCO cars in the Americas, is actively making the cars available to customers across the USA through Solus's distribution network.
The electric COCO car was showcased for the first time at the 2009 NADA show (Jan, 2009, New Orleans) by Solus International Corporation (http://www.soluscorp.com) and two regional COCO distributors: Franklin Motorsport LLC (http://www.kandicoco.com) and Engesser ECO Auto's (http://www.engesserecoautos.com). "The show was very successful. Our booth was busy all the time even in a down year for NADA and for the whole auto industry," said David Irvine, VP of Sales at Solus International. There is more good news for electric car buyers.
The Stimulus Act signed into law in Feb, 2009 carries a provision in which buyers of electric low-speed cars can receive a 10 percent tax credit up to $ 2,500. With the tax credit, the actual cost of COCO for consumers will be well below $ 10000. "This COCO car really turns heads wherever we go. It is electric, it is stylish and it is actually more affordable than the cheapest gas-powered cars with the new tax credit!" added by Irvine.
Electric cars have been wanted for years, and with the new tax credit from the Stimulus Act, The stylish Kandi COCO car is a green car of choice that every consumer can afford.

Celadon Applications, Creator Of Applications for Electric Car Range Anxiety, Is Growing Into New Facilities.
U. of Iowa Innovation Center
Iowa City, IA (PRWEB) September 9, 2010
Celadon Applications, (http://www.CeladonApps.com), innovative creator of Road2™ and other software applications for the electric vehicle and alternate energy markets, is moving into new facilities at the University of Iowa Innovation Center, supporting their growth by accommodating both new and existing staff for better collaboration and customer support.
With support of a grant from the Iowa Economic Development office, Celadon is moving into new offices at the University of Iowa Innovation Center (http://bit.ly/9wDH6f) on the U of Iowa Research Park campus on Coralville, IA. With new staff and current plans for additional development, Celadon is investing in facilities to allow for better collaboration of staff and a high level of support of their customer base, the manufacturers, suppliers and drivers of electric vehicles.
Celadon has been recognized as a high potential company by the Iowa Economic Development Board and the Pappajohn Entrepreneurial Center (http://www.iowajpec.org/). As a developer of applications for the blossoming electric car market (Nissan Leaf, GM Volt, Tesla, Honda, Toyota Prius and others) Celadon is in the forefront of this exciting automotive market.
Critical to the acceptance of these new technologies is the confidence that they are usable. Drivers must believe they can drive somewhere and get home again, not ever being stranded. This requires more and higher speed charging stations, better batteries, but also that you know exactly how much father your car can go. Celadon solves the problem of driver "range anxiety" written about (http://bit.ly/dgLKGl, http://bit.ly/ahKbel) in both technical and popular media.
"With market forecasts for electric vehicles ranging from hundreds of thousands to many millions, the opportunities for Celadon are tremendous," said Karen Pease, CEO of Celadon. "Our new facilities will provide better infrastructure for our software development, customer support and tighter collaboration by having most of our staff in one place at this critical time of our evolution."
Celadon Applications is a leader in developing innovative solutions helping green transportation and alternate energy markets grow by providing accurate and easily accessible information to confidently and effectively operate.

Could Carbon Nano Tube Batteries Help Drive the Recovery of the Auto Manufacturers?
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) August 9, 2009
Next Alternative Inc. wants to steer the future of the electric car and the U.S. auto industry itself into greener, and much more distant, pastures. Destinations that were once unattainable by the most efficient battery-powered cars will be an easy road trip with one of the company's new Carbon Nano Tube batteries (CNT Battery) under the hood.
With 8 times the Reserve Capacity (RC) of typical lead/acid batteries, CNT Battery technology allows cars to travel hundreds of miles between charges, up to an estimated 380 miles per charge. Even more impressive, CNT Batteries recharge in ten minutes from a regular electrical outlet, about the time it takes for a highway road trip pit stop. An hour's worth of recharging could add up to a pollution-free, coast-to-coast trip through Capitol Hill. The battery can be modified to the specifications of existing batteries.
CNT batteries provide the hybrid and electric car markets with a battery that far exceeds anything currently available to them at this time. Micro Bubble Technology, Inc. (MBTI), based in South Korea, developed CNT Battery technology. Carbon Nano Tubes are tiny tubular structures composed of a single layer of carbon atoms. MBTI developed a proprietary method of coating the anode, cathodes and modifying the electrolyte with Carbon Nano Tubes. The diminutive tubes hold 8 times as much energy as the lead in lead/acid batteries, and can hold a minimum of 2 times as much energy as rechargeable lithium batteries.
"CNT Batteries are superior to lead/acid batteries, lithium batteries and the silicone batteries powering electric cars today. Silicone based batteries perform better than current lead/acid batteries but do not allow electric vehicles to have a long range and require lengthy recharge times. Lithium-based batteries are expensive to produce and have lengthy recharge times. CNT technology will revolutionize the electric car industry, propelling it forward with battery that gives cars a much longer range and minimal recharge time." Next Alternative, Inc., President and CEO, Robert Ireland
As the U.S. government pushes for less dependence on fossil fuels through the development of alternative energy solutions, and leans on auto manufactures to create greener, more fuel efficient vehicles, the introduction of CNT batteries may just give the U.S. auto manufacturers the extra boost to help get their businesses back up to speed.
About Next Alternative Inc.
Next Alternative Inc. (TYN.F) develops the next generation of new green technology, specializing in alternative battery, fuel and electric motors. Next Alternative strives to bring to the world an alternative to fossil fuels and increased efficiencies in the world automotive arena. With offices in Phoenix USA and Ottawa Canada and distribution operations in Davenport, IA, Next Alternative Inc. holds the manufacturing and distribution rights for the Carbon Nano Tube Batteries for Canada, United States and Mexico. Next Alternative is listed on the Frankfurt Exchange.
