The Electric Vehicle Company

The Electric Vehicle Company, with its exclusive manufacturing partner, Cruise Car, Inc., offers the first factory equipped solar-electric, multi-passenger transporter available in the United States. The vehicles are primarily produced in China with US parts and technology. Final vehicle assembly takes place in Florida, Illinois and Wisconsin.

The vehicles are purchased by The Solar Electric Vehicle Company exclusively from its subsidiary, The Electric Vehicle Company. The Electric Vehicle Company was formed several years ago to pursue development, importation, production and marketing of earth friendly vehicles. The shuttle has been engineered over four years of research and development. Since The Electric Vehicle Company is responsible for repair and maintenance of the vehicles, it is imperative that its products have a low or no failure rate.

Solar Electric Mobile Farm Stand

Now it is possible to go straight from the farm to the local grocer or farmer's market to display and sell your goods without having to pollute the air or use a drop of gasoline. The Solar Electric Vehicle Company's Mobile Farm Stand's solar/battery system not only provides energy for the vehicle, but can also run a small cash register, scale and/or credit card reader. The great thing is that while you are charging for your crops, the solar cells keep charging the vehicle.

Our Solar Energy Technology

As much as 33% of the use of the vehicles can be powered by the Solar Energy.

Description

There are two solar panels on the top of the Solar Electric Vehicle Company's Solar Electric People Mover.

Each solar panel is designed to charge six 8 volt batteries, which is a 48 volt battery system The panel produces 60 volts to charge the 48 volt batteries. The panel produces up to 180 watts @ 60 volts, so a 3 amp continuous charge is produced from the panel when exposed to direct sunlight.

Extended Range and Battery Life

Solar energy increases the range of the vehicle charges by up to 33%. If a regular, non-solar vehicle gets 40 miles between charges, the EVC-X14 solar vehicle will travel 60 miles between regular plug in charges.

Another benefit is that the solar energy will extend the battery life by giving the batteries a continuous charge. If a normal set of batteries last three years, the EVC-X14 solar panel could extend the battery life an additional two years or more.

Solar Generator

The vehicle is a portable solar generator. If your regular power goes out, the vehicle has a 12 volt plug so you can plug appliances into it such as a small TV, lights and even a small refrigerator.

Finally, our solar panel has no moving parts and is designed to last 20 years.
