Mr. Malloy met with Chaz Haba and Whistler Investments executives in order to fully understand the technology as well as the production plans for the Company's latest products. The following are summary quotes from the aforementioned article: "Battery powered EV's (Electric Vehicles) have tended to be heavy and slow, with limited operating range and too-long recharge times ... Lithium ion batteries ... address many of the battery limitations." "The secret to making them suitable for automotive power supplies is in the way the individual cells are matched and connected with each other ... and that is proprietary information ... " "A high-wheeled electric scooter called the e-Cobra, which is already on the market, can typically be recharged in two hours after two hours of use ... " "To demonstrate the feasibility of green energy, Lithium House is converting a neighboring house to operate totally off-grid, charging Lithium ion battery banks with solar cells during the day, to provide a stored energy bank for use whenever needed. "Whistler Investments, a public, US-based investment company with strong Canadian connections among investors and management, funds Lithium House in return for marketing rights to its developments. Through a subsidiary company, Whistler is also building an off-grid demonstration project in Alberta." "A Chrysler PT Cruiser EV was nearly complete when I visited, and a Mini EV was also under construction. The latter was a commissioned project, which has since been delivered to the client - the British Embassy in Mexico City." "These vehicles ... were selected ... demonstrating that EV's don't have to be dull." "The next stage will be to get first-stage production vehicles in the hands of customers ... The process is already underway on the motorcycle side, with the market introduction of the e-Cobra." Neil Anderson, Strategic Relations Consultant for Whistler Investments stated, "With the automotive critics and experts both in North America and across the globe seeing our technology in action we have been highly successful at winning over even the hard-line combustion engine advocates. And as Mr. Malloy so eloquently stated in his closing comments, 'perhaps the battery isn't dead'." Holly Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments stated, "Whistler's philosophy to create a standard in Lithium-powered vehicles - integrating the latest in zero emission technology, ergonomic design and consumer appeal - one that also meets or exceeds the expectations of automobile experts throughout the world, has in my opinion been met. Our engineering team, headed by Chaz Haba, now stands ready to exceed the standard. We are pleased and honored to see that our popular R-Car has been selected for such positive press. Our 'First and Best in Market' approach is clearly a model that gives our Company a significant advantage over our competition. "With the upcoming Orange County Chopper for the California Highway patrol as well as several other high profile international government projects, we anticipate that our global exposure will be even greater than it has been to date." Mrs. Roseberry also stated, "We are proud of our development and engineering teams as they have created a vehicle that impresses even the toughest critics of zero emission vehicles, thus giving our technology a wonderful opportunity to easily become identified as the best in this rapidly growing market."
