Meet EVI (Electric Vehicles International)


Keith Barry from Wired's Autopia blog tells us about a new commercial electric vehicle available in the U.S. With all that stimulus money going towards buying electric vehicles and electrifying public fleets, this company is primed to succeed!

EVI assembles and manufactures two types of vehicles for the US market:

1) The eviLight Truck for Class 3-5 trucks, achieving maximum speeds of 55-60 MPH at up to 450V.

2) EVI also boasts the eviRoute 1500, a two-passenger flatbed commercial truck that can carry a load of 1,500 kgs at a range of 40 miles.

Check out their latest announcement that they are sponsoring Faster Freight Cleaner Air (FFCA-California) in Long Beach this week.
