EVs in the Carolinas area

The Dynasty Motorcars' "IT", a new neighborhood vehicle. The first dealer in the country to carry it will be Alternative Neighborhood Transportation of Southport NC.


The Zappy electric scooter is a fun way to travel on short trips or just zip around the parking lot.

This beautiful Bradley GT was built as an EV by Bradley; it has been modernized with an Advanced DC motor and Curtis controller, and is driven by a TEAA member to work in Research Triangle Park.

John Deere makes an electric version of their "Gator" utility vehicle. Dale Glubrecht took a specially prepped version to a British sports-car event and came in second in the autocross. See the whole story.


 

Northampton East High School has converted 3 vehicles, 2 Escorts and 1 Metro, won an electric pickup in the Richmond Electric Grand Prix. The vehicles can now be charged by the sun with a solar photovoltaic system.



Garner High School's Pontiac Grand Am. The most comfortable high school conversion in the area, retains the full rear seat and still has room for the spare tire and jack.
