Here you will find all kinds of great electric vehicle information, and no, we do not power our electric cars with lightning, yet. Rather, area grid electricity tends to come from Clean Hydro-Electric resources and Wind [1] [2] [3] is also plentifull in local areas.

There are five Considerations to keep in mind as you discover BEVs.

  • 40 MILES A DAY
  • Largest Environmental Problem
  • Cars are Available
  • Three times more Efficient
  • Next 3 Years

Congratulations to John Wayland on his recent success at breaking into the 12's and through the 100mph 1/4 mile barriers in his street legal Electric Datsun White Zombie [4]! Watch this small mpg movie (5 meg) for a little taste of clean and quiet smokie tire roasting fun, as home built dragsters run the quarter in less than 13 seconds at over 100mph!


  • A new EV project named Gone Postal is sure to turn heads the drag race season! Stay Tuned for more details as they become available.
