AltCar Expo

Enock Cuxeva, 26, from ElectricCustomCars.com, sands the fiberglass body of the
Lola-EV Highway speed custom built prototype on Wednesday, September 17, 2008,
at its Pico Blvd. garage. The Lola-EV is an eclectic vehicle that can drive 70 miles per hour with a 100
mile range and will be debut at the AltCar Expo next week at the Santa Monica
Civic. AltCar Expo, One of Nation’s Largest Displays of Alternative Fuel
Vehicles, will showcase more than 100 alt-fuel and ultra-efficient vehicles
including zero-emission electric cars and trucks, hybrids, Plug-In Hybrid
Electric Vehicles rated in excess of 100 miles per gallon, and those running on
hydrogen fuel cells, natural gas, propane, biodiesel and ethanol. Scooters,
Segways, electric motorcycles, bicycles and more will also be on hand. Low-speed
and freeway-capable vehicles will be available for public “ride-and-drives” and
for immediate purchase. AltCar Expo is known for its uncommon mix of vehicles by
major auto manufacturers and smaller companies. Its seminar speakers, addressing
the latest global transportation and energy trends, will include industry
executives, grass roots advocates and nationally recognized experts in public
policy, mass transit, sustainability, engineering and automotive technology.
Attendees will learn when they can expect to purchase the hottest eco-friendly
vehicles in development and about mass transit options, charging infrastructure,
new battery technologies, maximizing gas mileage and other issues. The expo's
purpose is to give consumers the chance to test drive alt-fuel cars, many of
which will be for sale on site, and find out about earning tax credits by going
green. The two-day expo will be held for the third consecutive year in Santa
Monica, CA, on Sept. 26 & 27.
