OFFER COMPLETE ELECTRIFIED AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS
Carbon Day Automotive, Chicago, Illinois, is today announcing a collaborative initiative with Enterprise Rent-A-Car, and A123 Systems, Inc. that can provide Green Fleet Vehicles capable of 99 mpg plus complete automotive Smart Grid charging solutions to municipalities and businesses throughout the United States. This strategic initiative, can afford fleet owners and individual consumers the ability to retrofit vehicles with A123 Systems Hymotion Plug-In Conversion Modules (“PCM’s”) with the secure knowledge that they will be able to “fuel” them at Smart Grid plug-in stations globally (some solar powered). This team effort will help to move this country closer to ending its dependence on foreign oil. The Coulomb Technologies ChargePoint® Networked Charging Stations have been selected by Carbon Day Automotive for powering all electric vehicles. They allow drivers to identify the location of unoccupied charging stations by using Google™ maps on web browsers and smart phones. Drivers are sent an email when their battery is recharged.
“The collaboration between Carbon Day Automotive, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and A123 Systems, Inc. is an exciting one that we believe can change the transportation industry in this country,” stated Scott Emalfarb, a principal at Carbon Day Automotive.
“Electric vehicles are not being manufactured fast enough and they are not being allocated to all major cities in this county. This program will put EV’s on the road and give drivers the ability to find ‘fuel’ easily. Together, we are providing immediacy to what will otherwise take years to accomplish.”
The current administration has made fuel reduction a top priority. President Obama set a goal for the country of one million plug-in electric vehicles on the road by the year 2015. The cooperation between Carbon Day Automotive, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and A123 Systems, Inc. is instrumental in helping to make that happen. Each is an industry leader and together they are providing complete, comprehensive, and integrated transportation solutions with Enterprise Rent-A-Car as the source for hybrid vehicles, A123 Systems, Inc. the provider of the plug-in conversions, and Carbon Day Automotive as the supplier of the necessary networked charging systems.
