  Hymotion does not have CARB certification under the new proposed regulations, only under the old regulations that did not have language specific to PHEVs.  They do not currently offer, for example, a 7 year warranty.

  At 3ProngPower, unlike many of our competitors in the electric vehicle industry, we choose to only advertise products that are actually available today, we do not take deposits on a product that then takes months or years to deliver.  

  Our current lead acid battery pack costs only $900 to replace.  Lithium batteries have a shelf life of at most 4 to 5 years and at the current price of lithium batteries it is actually less expensive to change out a lead acid pack a few time than to use lithium batteries.

  We will soon be announcing our own lithium battery product, and we offer to upgrade any of our lead acid customers to the lithium system for only the difference in cost.  This allows the consumer to drive a plug-in car today and to know they have the option to upgrade to a better battery technology once that battery technology is available and affordable.

  Most of our customers do not find the added weight reduces their mileage once the battery is depleated, this is due to the enhanced regenerative braking capability the vehicle has with the larger battery pack.  We include a suspension upgrade with the conversion such that the vehicle handlig is not significantly impacted by the added weight.On Who's killing the plug-in hybrid? posted 10 months, 2 weeks ago 12 Responses
