Report: Watch these 2 electric vehicle charging leaders

Hello my name is Bill and my day job is Chairman of VQ Wind.

We are a startup company in our SERIES B raise, that can provide 22 charging stations in our VQ-RESTOP system at your retail store parking lot while you do your shopping. And all our electricity is created without nasty fossil or nuclear fuel ?.just the sun and the wind.

Kind of odd logic to buy an electric car and then charge it only with electricity generated by use of toxic fuels. There is a cleaner way through our hybrid solar /wind technology.

Each VQ-RESTOP, (patent pending) can provide ~0.4 MWhours of chargings (a savings of about 50,000 gallons of gasoline per year). That's a lot of clean green renewable energy electricity for charging your Roadster.

If you think this intro is interesting please read the below or contact me direct or just comment here and we will explain more. BTW: The VQ-RESTOP economics are very respectable with short payout periods 2-8 years and attractive IRRs >15%.

VQ (Very Quiet) Wind is leading the small wind turbine technology revolution for applications ?Inside the fence? in light industrial, agricultural, commercial, municipal, community, urban and residential use. The company especially seeks out applications where renewable energy is valued beyond merely saving the cost of replacing electricity generation cost.

These applications have as a primary market driver elimination of toxic fuel emissions and their accompanying harm to the environment and human risks, while still maintaining strict adherence to attractive project economic metrics.

One such multibillion dollar global emerging market (>$100B) is served by VQ Wind?s patent pending VQ-RESTOP? which is specifically designed for creation of renewable energy from hybrid wind and solar technologies combined into a single structure to recharge electric vehicles in retail store parking lots while consumers shop in their retail stores. In so doing, the VQ-RESTOP? mitigates toxic pollutants emitted into the atmosphere as is now being done in creation of electricity for electric vehicles from fossil fuels (coal, oil and gas) and the inherent catastrophic danger of generating electricity from nuclear fuel resulting in such recent disasters as:
1. San Bruno, CA - PG&E Gas Explosion
2. Gulf of Mexico, - British Petroleum Oil Spill
3. And the ongoing crisis at Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
The company?s state of the art Vertical Axis WindJet? wind turbines are superior to traditional wind turbines for urban wind park applications in four environmentally friendly ways:
1. Low Noise
2. Avian Friendly
3. Low Shadow Flicker
4. And ? Required Space.
VQ Wind delivers innovative, leading-edge designs, while maintaining a strong and passionate commitment to the delivery of renewable energy to our customers.

Frost & Sullivan to Provide Industry Leaders With Key Plug-In Electric Vehicle Market Insights

 

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA--(Marketwire - March 17, 2011) - ?Frost & Sullivan's Veerender Kaul is set to speak at this year's Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure USA 2011 Conference & Exhibition March 31-April 1. Kaul aims to explore the consumer attitude and perceptions about electric vehicles and their electric vehicle purchase interest and preferences.

By 2020, huge shifts in urbanization and society are expected, which will collectively impact personal mobility.?Electric vehicles (EV) are expected to be in the forefront of these changes with ground-breaking products, innovative business models and new customer experiences. The move from a fossil-fuel based personal transportation system to an electric system, however, presents enormous challenges. The high price of EVs, limited driving range of battery EVs (typically 100 miles) and the lack of a public charging network are major impediments to the adoption of EVs.

The high investment needs for developing electric vehicles and the supporting infrastructure, amidst uncertainty about the acceptance of these vehicles, poses enormous risk. For a successful EV program, it is important to understand the vehicle-purchase and vehicle-usage criteria of consumers and fleet customers and align product and service offerings to them. Veerender Kaul's presentation will analyze the following key issues:

What is the level of awareness and interest in purchasing electric vehicles? What are the motivations for purchasing an electric vehicle? What are the vehicle usage and performance characteristics of interested customers? Who are the potential early adopters of electric vehicles? What are the electric vehicle feature preferences?

"On one hand, the unique driving attributed to an EV makes it difficult to position it as a primary vehicle and on the other hand its high price makes its positioning as a secondary vehicle difficult.?Innovative business models that package transportation services with EVs to overcome its driving limitations and derive secondary revenue streams to reduce the cost burden on EV owners are crucial to positioning an EV as a primary vehicle and enhancing its value proposition," notes Veerender Kaul, Frost & Sullivan's Automotive & Transportation Research Director.

The Plug-In Electric Vehicle Infrastructure USA 2011 conference in San Diego, CA on March 31-April 1 will showcase 20+ senior level speakers across 15+ dedicated business focused sessions to discuss the most innovative & commercial charging solutions, consumer behavior data, utility case studies, connectivity & payment strategies and much more in order to work out the a win-win situation for stakeholders. All attendees need to pre-register for the event. For the full speaker lineup, agenda and more details please visit: http://www.evupdate.com/electricvehicleusa/index.shtml
