Someone has to point out that in the major cities on the East Coast garages are not the norm. Street parking is dear and finding a spot in front of one’s home is pretty rare. My point is that you will not have a place to plug-in your plug-on car. And with a 25mpg max speed you essentially have a $25k golf cart with doors. Fleet use maybe but I can’t see any other use for the vehicle.

Since you have teamed up with Exxon , one of the most greediest oil baron companies in the world, I will make sure I do not buy any of your products if it is going to make exxon richer.

Think about what the people of the world must think about the huge profits they took from us . Think and leave them behind. Do your own thing . They will eventually eat you up and spit you out.

Electrovaya has failed to inform Exxon that their NEV/LSV (neighborhood/low speed vehicle) for $25,000-$35,000 is not DOT approved or licensed for U.S. roads. Major PR faux pas on Exxon's part.

Speed limit is 25 mph (Federal Law), not 25-35 mph as you published.

Your publication/site should do their homework before you write articles, rather than sending false and misleading press releases to the public.....even if it's Exxon.

Good piece. It sounds like Exxon is just putting its little toe in the water with Altcar. I wonder what it will take for companies like Exxon to go “all in” in the green energy sector? As Tom Friedman describes it in his excellent book Hot Flat & Crowded
