The EV1 is the car of the future. Not only for its performance, convenience and affordability, but for its environmentally friendly attitude. The EV1's electric motor requires no emission testing because it is a zero emission vehicle ‹ it doesn't even have a tail pipe. It requires no tune-ups. And no gasoline or oil changes. Which means cleaner air and less dependency on foreign oil.
The Personal Transit Module (P.T.M.) is a single passenger vehicle designed specifically for commuters and inner-city driving. Powered by thirteen 12 volt batteries, the Sparrow provides an effective range of 30 to 60 miles and a top speed of 65 mph. The Sparrow EV combines the best of both worlds. It is a three wheeled single-passenger enclosed vehicle, which qualifies it for motorcycle parking, commuter lanes, and lower tolls. It is reasonably priced at around $13,000.
CSW Total EV is on the cutting edge of environmentally-friendly EV technology. In 1997, we became the first electric utility in the nation to roll out the new, all-electric S-10 pickup from General Motors. A ground breaking zero-emission alternative to gasoline-powered transportation. Total EV markets electric bikes, and chargers for electric cars and trucks. So if you're thinking about trying an electric vehicle, CSW Total EV is the right place to start.
The Electric Auto Association (EAA) was formed in 1967 in San Jose, California. Its mission is "to act as a public source of information about developments in electric vehicle technology, to encourage experimentation in the building of electric vehicles, and to organize public exhibits and events of electric vehicles to educate the public on the progress and benefits of electric vehicle technology."
Triangle EAA is a chapter of the Electric Auto Association, a national non-profit organization formed in 1967 to promote the use of electric vehicles as a viable transportation alternative that is efficient, economical, ecological and available today. Triangle EAA serves the Research Triangle area of North Carolina.
The Neighborhood Electric Vehicle Company
Here is your new ride into the 21st century. A revolutionary concept in personal transportation. Never before has an enclosed electric vehicle been so affordable, so efficient and fun to drive. With an award winning design so original its patented. The Gizmo is practical enough to carry six bags of groceries, quick enough to sprint to 40 miles per hour, and so easy it takes only minutes to learn.
Passive Solar Industries Council
The Passive Solar Industries Council (PSIC) advances the design of residential, institutional and commercial buildings; making them more affordable, comfortable and environmentally sound. As the foremost resource for passive solar design and product information, PSIC offers professional training, consumer education and analysis tools nationwide.
For more than 25 years Unibuild Technology has been converting traditional building design and construction methods to modular systems. This process facilitates the prefabrication of most building components, leading to faster and better delivery of the end product. Projects have been designed and built to meet the challenges of extreme climates, difficult ground soils, earthquake zones and high wind regions across the globe.
The purpose of Sustainable Sources is to provide a solutions-based environmental site. Many of us already recognize that there are problems with our culture's present patterns of living, and don't want to spend our time trying to play environmental police. Sustainable sources presents demonstrable solutions in such a way that they are seen by the general public as rational, or even inevitable, alternatives. Sustainable Sources provides resources that offer practical options to the conventional methods of building, community, travel, and more.
The Texas PVC unites electric utilities and the renewable energy industry to promote development of solar energy in Texas. It was established in 1996 by Planergy, in Austin, Texas, with funding from the the Utility Photovoltaic Group and the US Department of Energy. Members include rural electric cooperatives, municipal electric utilities, investor-owned utilities, industry groups, and other interested in utility development of PV power.
Site for the coordination and dissemination of information of global photovoltaic (PV) technologies, applications, history, and resources. Photovoltaics is a semiconductor technology that silently converts light energy into direct-current (dc) electricity, without moving parts, burning fuels, or creating pollution.
The mission of EcoSystems is to develop, promote and market methodologies, technologies, and products that conserve natural resources and advance our planet towards sustainability through the use of solar energy.
Electric Transit Vehicle Institute
The Electric Transit Vehicle Institute is a non-profit corporation established to promote the design, production, and testing of electric transit vehicles through real-life application in Chattanooga, TN, in partnership with the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) and Advanced Vehicle Systems, Inc. (AVS).
The Morgantown GRT system has been described as the "best kept transit system secret" in the U.S. The system includes 8.7 miles of guideway and 5 stations which connect the main downtown campus of West Virginia University with the Morgantown central business district and the two suburban campuses along a linear alignment.
