Comments on: Portland Lands Major Upgrade to Electric Vehicle Infrastructure http://gas2.org/2009/08/05/portland-lands-major-upgrade-to-electric-vehicle-infrastructure/ What is the future of fuel? What's new? What's next? Since 2007, Gas 2 has covered a rapidly changing world coming to terms with its oil addiction.

This is an exciting time for us potential and hopeful EV'rs. Check out the news on Ecotality and E-tec in Scottsdale AZ to see what I'm talking about.

Or, are you talking about something completely different? Why would they buy an AC propulsion Ebox? Think about what you could do with that amount of money. Charging station, more lower cost electric vehicles. An AC propulsion vehicle would be excessive and demonstrate a lack of wisdom and efficient use of resources.

Yes Zipcar should add the Nissan Leaf to their fleet but they should not just be waiting passively for the debut of an automaker EV. Zipcar Portland should add at least one AC Propulsion Ebox (http://www.acpropulsion.com/ebox/) to their fleet within the next 6 months so that Zipcar Portland's members and the wider public can experience firsthand exactly what the capabilities of a well built Battery Electric Vehicle are. AC Propulsion is the gold standard of Electric Drive. Zipcar has the capital to make the purchase. It is important that Zipcar Portland add battery electric vehicles to their fleet immediately.

We have a Zipcar hybrid now at front door of the Mississippi Avenue Lofts and would love to put a charging station there so that we can have all electric Zipcars in the future!
