Wow Amazing Modern Design Futuristic Lexus Future (2002) Concept Car for Future

One would assume that this quality EV prototype would certainly create some kind of media interest and may certainly help push the electric car market in the right direction considering that our planet depends on us doing something positive for the environment ASAP. One only has to look at the latest BBC news and put 2 and 2 together concerning pollution, climate change and green house gases etc, to understand that our future can only be green, however the June 2002 issue of FHM magazine has the headline GASOLINE on page 150, and then dumps on the car for being "completely fake" and "just" an EV, but it does reveal in the text that the concept car can actually hit 90 mph and reach 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds with its 500 Kw motor. Not bad for a completely fake car! The official press release can be found at www.electrifyingtimes.com The only problem with the press release is that there is not a hint of the EV specs unveiled! WHY?

Just recently (July 10th 2002) - Electrifying Times has discovered thanks to Jim Carlucci at EVUK who endeavoured to check out this terrific EV Lexus 2054 online. Reading the July Pleiades-Enterprises Newsletter it reported that the car had a 500 kW midship-mounted motor with lithium-ion solid polymer batteries. The patented propulsion technology for this working EV is attributable to Chaz Haba and Bob Anderson from Nu Pow'r LLC. Haba, founder and sole owner of Nu Pow'r provides the 36-volt lithium battery for Lee Iacocca's folding electric bicycle, called the "e-bike. Steve Sanderson, owner of Sanderson Sales & Marketing at 6401 W. Park Blvd. in Plano, California and Lee Eastman, owner of Eastman Energy Group in Vista, also in California, are scouting locations for Nu Pow'r stores, which the company calls Power Stations. Nu Pow'r makes its golf cart at a Las Vegas plant owned by Shelby American, maker of the Shelby Series 1 and Shelby Cobra high-performance sports cars. Haba replaced the combination of traditional lead batteries weighing about 380 pounds in a typical golf cart with a more efficient, 72-pound lithium battery system.
