| Here's a picture of the Shelby
(formerly G4) Golf Car. Planet Electric was marketing it as the G4, and although it
uses Chaz Haba's patented proprietary power train system, I believe there
are still some ongoing disputes as to how NuPow'r will be able to market it.
It really is the Rolls Royce of golf cars, hence Carroll Shelby
agreeing to lending his name to the vehicle. See: http://www.sandersonsales.com
for clues. To clarify, NuPow'r LLC will probably not be doing any manufacturing themselves. The strategy will be more of licensing
existing companies to do that, thereby avoiding the excessive costs, etc.. |
As Chaz shared with me the other day, he said, "I am sticking with what I know and not going too far out on a limb, or being too adventurous . . . I've been burned too many times." I guess that sums everything up pretty well at the moment. It's understandable that anyone would want to stay focused on what is actually making money and avoid the temptations of venturing too far away from what is already working. Nevertheless, the R&D at Lithium House is an ongoing procedure and I saw
some really 'neat' stuff being developed for other companies as applied to |

The Hardly Davidson is a good example of that;
with another great design on an Italian Motor Scooter like the Vespa. |
The Tuffy Truck is shown in its basic form (without panels, etc), but it does give a good view of the EV chassis that can have any number of different body shapes adapted to it. (Flat-bed pick-up, SUV, Campervan, etc, etc.) It employs 4WD and has a top speed of about 35-50 mph and retails for about $18K. (Not cheap, but a working prototype of what is possible using the Chaz Haba Power
System.) |
