January 24, 2008 – Vol. 12 No. 44 Electrovaya Launches Zero-Emission, Low-Speed Electric Vehicle. The all-weather Maya-300 will have an extended range of up to 120 miles on a single charge. Its top speed is electronically regulated to either 25 or 35 mph, as per state regulations. With an on-board charger it can be recharged from a standard 120 volt outlet. The Maya-300 is designed for urban and neighborhood driving patterns. It will be ideal for fleet operators in cities, universities and parks as well as the many households with a second or third vehicle for urban driving within a local neighborhood. The Maya-300 offers these users a clean, zero-emission alternative with sufficient range, low maintenance costs and extremely low operating costs. (Commercial availability is not mentioned in the press release.) The low-speed electric vehicle will use Electrovaya’s proprietary Lithium Ion SuperPolymer (R) battery technology system featuring its MN-Series with a balanced energy and power density optimization. The Maya-300’s battery system incorporates battery separator films from ExxonMobil Chemical. Separator film is an integral part of battery system design and critical to overall performance, according to the company.
“We are very pleased to launch the Maya-300,” notes Dr. Sankar Das Gupta, CEO of Electrovaya, “This marks a new era where affordable, zero-emission clean transportation solutions become available with sufficient range for daily local driving. The Maya-300 is a terrific, high profile solution for many fleet operators with a driving range longer than other low-speed electric vehicles. Its operational convenience, low operating costs and all-weather performance are a winning combination.” Electrovaya, of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada is a developer and manufacturer of portable power solutions with its propriety Lithium Ion SuperPolymer (R) battery and systems technology.
