EV Innovations (EVII.OB) Catches Eye of Popular Mechanics with Entry into X-Prize Competition

Not being the first time EV Innovations has caught their attention, Popular Mechanics has once again featured the company and its 100% lithium-powered vehicles. As many auto enthusiasts already know, the 2009 New York International Auto Show is currently in progress. Unfortunately it hasn’t turned out to be much of a battlefield, according to Popular Mechanics, with the exception of EV Innovations’ latest vehicle.

EV Innovations’ Wave is a curvacious plug-in electric two-seater that boasts a range of up to 200 miles, a top speed of around 80 mph, and an affordable price tag just north of $30,000 when it becomes available to consumers next year. The vehicle is far less expensive than the company’s electric supercar, the Inizio, which can reach 170 mph, has a range of 200 miles between charges and will cost appox. $139,000 when it hits production late this year or early 2010.

The company is still in the process of deciding which of its two electric vehicles is going to enter in the X-Prize competition. “We have to decide which one we put out there to get all the attention: The Wave, which is a car you can take to work every day, or the more powerful Inizio,” said Ron Cerven, EV Innovations’ program manager and director of product design.

The Wave is a slick looking ride, at any price.

Good point protostars, for what the wave offers price is at a very apealing stand.

Need to get that marketing arm moving. Contracts are ripe for the picking as the gov. does its environmental thing with the big three (or small 3 these day'sLOL)

That would be good, Im intrested in what type of marketing would be most apealing.

In a way, it's a pretty scary world out there. Perhaps EVI has to ultimately shake hands with big players - and once they've got you by the hand, you never know where you're going to get tossed.

Got that right, but operating cash is operating cash.

EV Innovations Inc. (EVII.OB) Receives Massive Attention from Prominent Media

EV Innovations Inc., an inventive company offering high-end, high power sports vehicles as well as practical and more affordable lithium powered transportation, has received extensive media coverage as it showcased two distinctly different plug in electric vehicles at the 2009 New York International Auto Show.

EV Innovations captivated the attention of the Wall Street Journal, CNNMoney, Popular Mechanics, The New York Times, Motor Trend, Car And Driver, CBS and others. The company was applauded by The New York Times as the only “splash” at this year’s show, complimenting the serving of champagne as the company celebrated the introduction of their two latest vehicles, the WAVE and INIZIO, during a press conference.

Steve Gelsi of the Wall Street Journal recognizes the challenge for manufacturers to keep costs of electric vehicles down, and reported that EV Innovations appears to be the most competitive with what is available on the market today. Popular Mechanics commented on the company’s “curvaceous plug in,” the WAVE, and said that their INIZIO EVS will be a strong contender in the $7.5 million X Prize Competition.

When the New York Times calls the company "the only SPLASH at this year's show", and the Wall Street Journal says that the company "appears to be the most competitive --- on the market today", what more could you want?

by **mrsfelix06** » Wed Apr 15, 2009 12:33 pm

Good point. Recognized in the media is great publicity. Look forward to seeing how the INZIO will do in the competition.
