While electric vehicles (E-Vs) may seem like the up-and-coming thing in today's world, many folks don't realize that the
battery powered electric transportation actually predates its gasoline-powered counterpart by more than 50
years. Electric carriages and locomotives were built and driven in America, and Europe before the first gasoline-powered automobile in 1886. From 1900 until about 1920 there were many more
electric vehicles than gas buggies on the road. Battery powered electric vehicles were the preferred mode of transportation at the time.
We have waited 100 years for advanced battery technologies. Sadly enough
there are companies like Chevron Texaco who bought the nickel battery
patents and stop their production for the past ten years.
We provide components and conversion kits for battery powered electric
vehicle concept cars, trucks, motorcycles, boat propulsion systems,
various types of handicap, utility and electric powered racing vehicles.
We offer technical support to interested consumers, electric vehicle
hobbyists, conversion shops, municipal utilities, and learning
institutions.
Today's off-the-shelf electric drive and battery technology has
undergone continual improvement over the past 30 years. The new electric
propulsion systems are specifically designed for battery powered applications. When you implement
these products into an electric car or boat conversion the end result
is a viable transportation that is safe, reliable, quiet, non-polluting,
low-maintenance, and a lot of fun to own and operate.
Electric Vehicle Concepts develops environmentally sound, zero-emission
vehicles that are safe, have excellent performance, and are fun to
operate. Truly a unique experience that inspires customers to
take a moment and consider the only environmentally sound choice.
In the longer term, the "personal transportation vehicle" fuel of
choice will be electricity. Battery stored, on-board and generated
or dynamically transferred.
You can convert your choice of gas or diesel powered vehicle or
boat to battery powered electric transportation. Battery powered
electric conversions can cost under $5,000 dollars using the newest
light weight lithium batteries. Your electric vehicle conversion can
have a working range of 150 miles per charge. The new lithium
batteries have the ability to recharge in 20 to 30 minutes from any
110 volt electrical outlet.
Many European and Asian countries offer low cost electric vehicles
capable of freeway speeds for under $14,000 out the door. These electric
vehicle concepts are practical cars that the working person can own and
drive. Here in America we do not have such electric vehicles. Electric
Vehicle Concepts wants to see electric vehicles on the road, not endless
expensive experiments.
Internal combustion transportation contributes 58% of the carbon dioxide emissions. Carbon dioxide constitutes 84% of the Green House. With the major automobiles companies fighting tooth and nail against any changes to their product. The major auto manufacturers are more concerned about their bottom line than about the quality of the environment and the quality of life of the nations' children in the twenty-first century. Emission free
electric vehicles are necessary, now.
A significant number of consumers and fleet buyers are
interested in electric vehicle concepts and electric vehicle
conversions in the pursuit for cleaner air, lower
operating maintenance costs and positive environmental image. Given the opportunity
they would own and drive electric vehicles. Everyone must be able to buy electric powered transportation. E-V
Concepts goal is to help create as many electric vehicle conversions as
possible in the Worlds transportation system.
Electric Vehicle Concepts
Electric Vehicle Concepts has been producing
Evolutionary Rides since 1978. Manufacturing emission free battery
powered transportation and conversions. E-V Concepts continues to
build on an individual consumer basis. Designing, engineering and
building replacement electric propulsion drive systems for the
automotive and boating industries.
