Other electric NEVs such as the GEM, EZ-Go, Lido, and Dynasty use antiquated electronics with standard marine deep cycle batteries and offer a maximum range of 25-30 miles/charge. The "npTECH", with its new Lithium batteries render over 200 miles/charge.

 

Additionally, NEVs like the Dynasty provide no airbags and thus are classified as SMV or Slow Moving Vehicles. SMVs are limited to a maximum speed of 25 mph and are street legal where speeds do not exceed 35 mph. The "npTECH" includes front seat driver/passenger airbags with 3rd generation sealtbelts and restraint system and therefore are allowed a maximum speed of up to 75 mph.

 

The cost of electricity in Hawaii range from 29 to 36 cents per Kilowatt-Hour. This means that if you use 1000 watts of power for One hour, you should expect to pay 29 to 36 cents. It takes 8-hours to charge up a GEM or Dynasty NEV. Therefore your daily cost would be $2.32/$2.88.

 

The new "npTECH" features a revolutionary "float charge system" which take about 1/2 the time to completely equalize the batteries. This means that while it cost you $2.32 a day to charge up a GEM NEV, it will cost you just $1.16 or 1/2 the savings.

 

Additionally, should you choose to install our patented Solar Module and Panels, you will be completely independent of HECO generated power.

 

Cost Benefit: A fully loaded GEM Car with AM/FM Radio, Interior Lights, and Hard Doors will run anywhere from $16,000 to $17,000. The "npTECH" with all the options and feature-benefits will cost no more than $19,250.00.

 

What is most significant? The "npTECH" is Local, Home-Grown and will be manufactured right here in the islands. It will be the first compact-class automobile designed, built and produced in Hawaii.
