2010-12-17
SAN JOSE, CA, December 17, 2010 (Press-News.org) SunPods, Inc. and Saba Motors, Inc. hosted a factory tour to demonstrate solar charging as an alternative, renewable energy source for the expanding Electric Vehicle market. The tour was attended by delegates attending master classes at the Future of Electric Vehicles conference held December 7-9, 2010 in San Jose, California. The demonstration included SunPods’ EV Plug-N-GoTM solar charging station and Saba Motors’ Carbon Zero Roadster.

The tour was held at SunPods headquarters in San Jose. Master class attendees were provided with an overview of the SunPods design and manufacturing process. Topics covered SunPods easily installed solar charging solutions for hybrid and all-electric buses, military, utility, and consumer vehicles as well as commercial EV green fleets.

Michael Gumm, co-founder of SunPods Inc., said, “SunPods was pleased to be included as one of the local centers of excellence for IDTechEX’s Future of Electric Vehicles business tours. We look forward to participating in future events as SunPods expands its solar EV charging product line including a solar shade canopy now in development.“ Gumm added, “IDTechEX is well known for their global analysis, strategic advice and market intelligence covering EVs as well as photovoltaics and energy harvesting.“

The tour concluded with a visit to the SunPods factory area where attendees could examine a fully assembled SunPods solar array, Clipper Creek charging station and the Saba Motors all-electric Carbon Zero Roadster. The Carbon Zero Roadster is an all-electric sports car uniquely designed for both high performance and affordability. An engine that does zero-to-sixty mph in five seconds, has a driving range of 140 highway miles on a single charge, and generates zero pollution to the environment places the Carbon Zero Roadster on the leading edge of technology.

“The Future of Electric Vehicles master class attendees are Saba Motors’ ideal audience because they are specifically focused on today’s emerging EV technologies,“ said Simon Saba, Founder of Saba Motors. “We received a high degree of interest in the innovative design elements - a 42% lighter vehicle combined with an 85% more efficient use of energy - that will make the Carbon Zero Roadster readily available to both auto and electric car enthusiasts.“

The Future of Electric Vehicles Conference is the world’s only event that covers all forms of electric vehicles - land, water, and air. Uniquely, it concentrates on the potentially disruptive breakthroughs of the future including radically new materials, components and forms. The event includes an exhibition, master classes, and visits to local centers of excellence. It is the first and only event worldwide to have such scope, giving a thorough understanding of the game-changing developments in the industry.
