Can you really do all that, at a lower cost of ownership? Yes, you can!

And turf damage from 500-pound golf cars?

It might be time to switch to the lighter footprint and higher performance of the Lithium Power Pack from GRRReen.

Boasting a 1:5 weight ratio compared to conventional lead-acid batteries, the Lithium Power Pack is already in use at select golf courses, where fleet managers are now enjoying:

  • Faster charging
  • Farther range
  • Longer battery life
  • Zero maintenance
  • Higher performance across the board

In addition, customers now know and appreciate the golf course’s commitment to sustainability, with a battery technology that’s cleaner than lead acid.

Isn’t it time you looked into the Lithium Power Pack?

•    For purchase, for those customers who want to own their product outright.

•    As a managed service, for those who prefer to avoid capital expenditures, and would rather not even think about batteries.

Either way, customers love the increased power, extended range, lower weight and longer life of the Lithium Power Pack – and they love having the choice of how to buy them.

Lithium ion is emerging as the battery technology of choice for powering smaller electric vehicles, as well as other applications, both mobile and stationary.

A collaboration among the Rady School of Management at UC San Diego, the Anderson School of Management at UCLA, and Caltech, CACI 2009 is happening today. An opportunity for attendees to expand  their knowledge of clean technology, and to network with industry leaders, this year’s conference is focused on the themes of new energy, transportation and water technologies, and how these will affect the future.

Keynote speakers include San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders, Amit Kumar, Ph.D., president and CEO of CombiMatrix Corp., and Peter C. Fusaro, chairman of Global Change Associates.

We were impressed by the enthusiasm of the attendees, and the dedication of the CACI leadership team, led by Marc Potash.

With a focus on providing a broader understanding of the issues facing clean technology, and a real drive to promote clean tech innovation through all aspects of society and the economy, this is a group that is making a positive impact!

Save the planet! http://grrreen.com/2009/04/ride-cleaner-be-cooler-save-the-planet/ http://grrreen.com/2009/04/ride-cleaner-be-cooler-save-the-planet/#comments Wed, 15 Apr 2009 21:36:24 +0000 Tom Stacey http://grrreen.com/?p=288 A cool, breeze-driven drizzle did not dampen enthusiasm for green automotive technology Tuesday at the Clean Tech Car Show at UC San Diego.

We displayed the Ford F150 that we’ve converted to a prototype plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and fielded a variety of questions from interested students and guests of Connect, sponsor of the event.

Also on hand were ISE Corporation with their hybrid-electric bus, SDG&E with a plug in conversion of a Toyota Prius, an electric motorcycle from cimg0003Vectrix, a Prius powered by Ni-Zn batteries from Power Genix, and other green technologies.

Many were curious about the performance of Ford F150 vehicle. In a nutshell, the GRRReen conversion prototype:

  • Goes from 0 to 40 mph on electric power (and then the gasoline engine takes over)
  • Is currently powered by a lead-acid battery pack (with a lithium-ion battery pack in development)
  • Has a range of about 40 miles
  • Is not available yet, but will be offered to fleets later this year

Following the expo, attendees heard John Addison, author of Save Gas, Save the Planet, discuss recent advances in hybrid automotive technology, biofuels and other fields related to greener driving.

Special thanks to Camille Sobrian and Taylor Peterson of Connect for hosting an informative event focused on bringing more attention to emerging green automotive technologies.

There’s certainly a lot of activity on the green automotive front — and GRRReen is right in the middle of it! We’ll have the Ford F150 we converted to a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) on display at  the Ride Clean Car Expo near Price Center at UC San Diego on Tuesday, April 14 from 3 to 6 p.m.savegas-cover

Sponsored by UCSD CONNECT, the event will feature a talk by John Addison, author of Save Gas, Save the Planet, who will cut through the myths about today’s technology, and discuss business opportunities for future innovation in the auto industry and  the race for clean fuels.

Also on display will be:

* Lexus Vectrix – the only freeway-legal electric two-wheel vehicle
* Reaction Design for Energico – virtual experimentation of low emission design alternatives
* Power Genix’s NEV, powered by the latest nickel-zinc batteries
* ZuumCraft’s very light electric vehicle Zuummer
* Spectrum Aeronautical’s ultra light, low emission aircraft
* SDG&E’s CNG car and plug-in hybrid vehicle
* ISE Corporation Hybrid-Electric Bus

It will be a great opportunity to see what’s happening in green motoring, and meet local entrepreneurs who are making it happen.

Stop by and see us!
