The GE Electric Vehicle Experience Tour Charges the East Coast
NEW YORK-May 2, 2011 - GE Energy Industrial Solutions and GE Capital Fleet Services, in another move to drive adoption in the electric vehicle market, will continue GE's (NYSE: GE) national Electric Vehicle (EV) Experience Tour with a stop in New York City on May 12. The U.S. tour is part of GE's ecomagination? business initiative to accelerate the innovation and deployment of clean energy solutions.
After the event in New York City, the GE EV Experience Tour will travel to Washington, D.C., on May 19. GE successfully wrapped up the multi-city, west coast segment of its EV Experience Tour last month, stopping in San Francisco (March 10), Seattle (March 15), Los Angeles (March 17) and San Diego (March 22).
The tour includes presentations by GE and industry leaders; educational workshops to support EV planning, deployment and integration strategies; and electric-vehicle test drives. Each tour segment provides a forum for GE experts to connect with local businesses, influencers and public-sector stakeholders to dialogue on the business case for EV ecosystems and concludes with an "EV Ride & Drive" featuring cars and trucks from a number of electric vehicle manufacturers.
"Our goal is to help build the ecosystem necessary to support the large-scale deployment of electric vehicles," says Luis Ram?rez, CEO, GE Energy Industrial Solutions. "The GE EV Experience Tour is an exciting opportunity to collaborate with key thought leaders and work to shape the standards and policies that will guide the development of the infrastructure necessary to support the EV ecosystem in the New York City and Washington, D.C., areas."
GE has provided electrical distribution products for more than 100 years and can offer a full suite of solutions-from leasing and vehicle management services to a network of charging stations, charging software development, customer infrastructure upgrades and electrical grid integration. The successful large-scale deployment of EVs will require an end-to-end infrastructure solution of circuit protection equipment, transformers and charging stations to deliver a viable EV ecosystem.
"The business case for electric vehicles is growing even stronger amid rising fuel costs, economic and energy security concerns and the need for sustainable transportation," says Clarence Nunn, president and CEO of GE Capital Fleet Services. "At each of our EV Experience Tour stops, we've been able to help our customers position their own organizations to take advantage of this exciting new technology and we're looking forward to sharing our insights with leaders in New York and Washington, D.C."
GE's electric vehicle chargers, including the easy-to-use, smart, fast and award-winning GE WattStation* Electric Vehicle Charging Station, will accompany the GE EV Experience Tour.

Arcimoto Presents SRK Product Prototype
Oregon company unveils three-wheeled electric vehicle, code named 'Red 5'
Eugene, OR (PRWEB) May 04, 2011
Arcimoto unveiled its first product prototype, the SRK, on Saturday, April 23 in Eugene. The SRK is described as an, 'ultra efficient three-wheeled electric vehicle,' with multiple range and body enclosure options. Additional information can be found on the Company’s website at http://www.arcimoto.com, and those interested in purchasing an SRK may place a $100 pre-order deposit on the site to reserve one.
Code named 'Red 5', the SRK product prototype is the culmination of 3 1/2 years of experience designing, engineering, and building the Everyday Electric vehicle. As Arcimoto's first product prototype, the SRK is representative of the model the Company intends to produce for sale. Improvements over previous iterations include an ultra efficient drive system, race caliber suspension, a lighter yet stronger frame, and a newly designed lightweight and modifiable body shell. The SRK design is based upon Arcimoto’s unique ultra-efficient three-wheeled electric vehicle platform architecture.
"Arcimoto’s launch was a huge milestone and was likely the biggest event in Oregon’s electric vehicle history," said Drive Oregon Board of Directors President and Green Lite Motors CEO Tim Miller. "Oregon companies have delivered the full range from electric bicycles and motorcycles, up to streetcars, and now we’re seeing the arrival of a real Oregon-built vehicle for everyday drivers."
Arcimoto estimated that around 450 people showed up to view the unveiling. Eugene Mayor Kitty Piercy kicked off the presentation by introducing Arcimoto President Mark Frohnmayer. Longtime Arcimoto supporters Nathan Fillion and Jon Huertas, stars of TV’s Castle, made the trip up from Hollywood and drove the SRK out to enthusiastic applause during Frohnmayer’s monologue. Huertas was credited with defining the name and identity of the vehicle, as when he first drove an Arcimoto prototype he exclaimed, “It feels like driving a shark!”
When Fillion took the stage his message was one of simple thanks: "Thank you so much for simply yet so radically revolutionizing the auto industry, an industry that has seen so little change in the last century."
During the presentation Frohnmayer outlined three different full enclosure options intended for various consumer needs: the lightweight fabric LT option, the fleet-focused Deliverator option, and the hard-shelled Pulse option for every day driving. The vehicle will also feature a configurable battery pack with range options of 40, 80 and eventually 160 estimated miles per charge.
"The SRK is lighter, faster, and stronger than our previous concepts while incorporating desirable elements from each of them," said Frohnmayer. "We have received tremendous support from representatives at all levels of government, as well as from friends in Hollywood. We couldn’t have reached this milestone without their support, the support of our early adopter customers and the community at large."
Arcimoto was founded in 2007 with the mission to catalyze the shift to a sustainable transportation system. Arcimoto's first product, the SRK is a three-wheeled all-electric vehicle featuring extreme efficiency, daily utility and a grin-inducing driving experience that won’t break the bank. The Company recently unveiled 'Red 5', its first product prototype and is now refining that design for pilot fleet introduction and production.
Drive Oregon is a coalition of companies and interest groups engaged in the electric vehicle industry and transportation electrification. Drive Oregon consists of companies that develop and produce vehicles, components, perform conversions, and provide consulting services for hybrid and electric vehicles and energy storage technologies.

Brammo Announces a Strategic Partnership with S.M.R.E. and Launches New Brammo Motorcycles with patented IET Six-Speed ...
Press Release Source: Brammo, Inc. On Wednesday May 4, 2011, 7:01 am EDT
ASHLAND, Ore. & UMBERTIDE, Italy--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Brammo, Inc., a global leader in the electric vehicle industry, and S.M.R.E. Engineering, a leading engineering research and development company, today announced that Brammo and S.M.R.E. have entered into a strategic partnership. As a part of this agreement, Brammo has acquired an exclusive international license for S.M.R.E.’s patented Integrated Electric Transmission? (IET). IET enables Brammo to offer its electric motorcycles with a 6-speed transmission - further improving performance and range. The first application of the new IET will be on the Brammo Engage and Encite, which are being announced today and which will be unveiled prior to competing in the MiniMotoSX race in Las Vegas on Friday, May 6, 2011.
“It is fundamental to Brammo’s success that we continue to innovate and develop our strong reputation for high-quality, exciting motorcycles,” stated Craig Bramscher, CEO and Founder of Brammo, Inc. “Combining the S.M.R.E. Integrated Electric Transmission system with the Brammo Power? Batteries and Battery Management System keeps Brammo at the forefront of Powersports drivetrain technology.”
“We are delighted to have Brammo as our strategic partner,” said Samuele Mazzini, Founder and CEO of S.M.R.E. and creator of the IET?. “This alliance will see the IET integrated into Brammo motorcycles and enjoyed by riders all around the world.”
Today Brammo announces four new models all featuring the IET? and swappable Brammo Power battery packs.
Engage MX - dirt bike competing in MiniMotoSX - anticipated price $9,995.00 Engage SMR – Super Moto Racing – anticipated price $9,995.00 Engage SMS - Super Moto Street - anticipated price $11,995.00 Encite MMX PRO - mini dirt bike competing in MiniMotoSX - no price announcedPrices do not include relevant taxes or Federal and State electric vehicle incentives.
The Engage and Encite join the award-winning Enertia and stunning Empulse. Together, these four model ranges offer motorcycle dealerships the most comprehensive range of electric motorcycles available. Brammo continues to expand its dealership network in North America and will be adding many new dealers over the next 90 days.
Integrated Electric Transmission (IET?) – the IET? is a mechatronic propulsion unit that emulates the feeling and performance of a traditional internal combustion engine, with a specially developed electric motor, clutch and gear shift that enables Brammo motorcycles to accelerate hard from the line up to a high top speed, something that is just not possible to achieve with a single-ratio electric motorcycle.
“Electric motorcycle design has always been a bit of a balancing act in direct drive systems where great acceleration performance comes at the expense of low top-end speed,” stated Brian Wismann, Director of Product Development at Brammo. “The IET? system provides the best of both worlds and is the perfect complement to Brammo’s industry-leading Brammo Power battery and vehicle control technology to maintain our position as the world’s leading electric motorcycle manufacturer.“

What BMW Really Thinks About Electric Vehicles
The car giant doesn't see an EV in every driveway--yet.
Last week, BMW upset electric vehicle lovers everywhere when Jim O'Donnell, the company's North American chairman and CEO, said that EVs won't work at their current battery range for at least 90% of the population--and that the U.S. government should end the $7,500 EV tax credit. Does this mean these cars aren't going to be in every driveway in five years?
Actually, people are pretty excited about electric cars--as is BMW, which is making them. So now the company is rushing to do damage control lest we think that it is not behind its own entry into the market. Fast Company had the chance to talk to Tom Kowaleski, VP of Corporate Communications for BMW North America, to find out what the company really thinks about EVs--and other alternative vehicle technologies.
So how about O'Donnell's comment that EVs may not work for 90% of the population? BMW seems to stand by it. Kowalski tells us, "In the next 15 years, internal combustion engines will still be between 85% to 95% of personal mobility around the world. Because we have such a diverse driving environment [in the U.S.], in some areas it could be higher, in some it could be lower." That is a pretty conservative view of what innovation we might make happen with electric cars in the next decade.
But BMW is still planning on rolling out EVs for that 5%, starting with a lease program for the ActiveE electric coupe next year. For now, the company believes it is catering to a niche market, mainly because EV tech does admittedly have some kinks to work out, including short battery range and lack of infrastructure.
And as for O'Donnell's comment about abolishing EV tax credits--credits that people might want to use to, say, buy a BMW EV? BMW is backtracking on that one. "Oftentimes in the early days, it does require a tactical use of the right incentives to stimulate the market. It was never our intention to say that we don't like incentives on EVs, rather that we think in particular incentives in America should not be used to stimulate one [technology] over the other," says Kowalski.
In other words, the government shouldn't play favorites, but BMW still appreciates having some sort of cash bump for its customers. And the company isn't ignoring the subsidies, either--it has at least two EVs in the pipeline and no current plans for a commercial hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.
