The sleek lines and organic symmetry of the Phoenix electric car is revolutionizing the way we think about transportation. The car will ultimately drive via the car’s under-floor mounted assembly of 48 lithium ion modules (each laptop-sized module is comprised of four magazine-sized cells) and will offer a number of charging strategies. To yield a full charge, a 200-volt, single-phase AC charger takes less than eight hours, and topping off the battery from a 100 volt single-phase standard home wall outlet will take somewhere around twice that time. The target speed is 50-60 mph.
Phoenix serves as the inspiration behind an urban vehicle useful at lower speeds and hopefully viewed as an option for user sharing in an effort to offset over population & reduce car ownership in most cities worldwide. Possible applications include resorts or even recreation use such as golf courses.
