Micro-Vett’s Electric Fiat Fiorino travels 586 km in 12 hours
Stavanger (Norway), 13 may 2009 When speaking about electric vehicles, critics have always highlighted their lack of range.
Micro-Vett has now proven that this is no longer an issue. The solution lies in a charging system capable of re-energizing a vehicle’s batteries in the time it takes to have a coffee.
The desire was to demonstrate that existing technology could allow electric vehicles to enjoy the freedom of travel without limits, by depending on an accessible service network just like normal combustion engine vehicles.
First electric taxi to start service in Helsinki metropolitan area
Finland’s first electric taxi will start service at the Helsinki-Vantaa airport on 5 May 2009. The all-electric taxi will give passengers in the Helsinki metropolitan area an opportunity to experience the benefits of an emissions-free car of the future. Recharging the car with electricity produced from renewable energy sources also lowers the car's life-time CO2-emissions close to zero.In cooperation with Fortum, taxi driver Seppo Rosvall has already tested the suitability of an all-electric vehicle in normal taxi service. Everything has gone smoothly, so the decision to put the car into normal taxi service could be made. The taxi will use Helsinki-Vantaa airport as its base and can run about 160 kilometres on a single charge.
