Pre-Owned Cars Get Green Makeovers at Evcarco

Evcarco is making it easy to drive green, whether you're searching for an eco-friendly preowned car or in the market for the sleek and exotic, near-zero emissions Scorpion.  Evcarco dealerships will soon be open across the nation with a selection of preowned hybrids, electric vehicles, and upgraded traditional cars in addition to the luxury hydrogen fueled Scorpion.  The first of these green car dealerships is already serving the public in Fort Worth, Texas, with plans to open 20 more over the next 2 to 4 years.
About Evcarco
Partnered with Texas-based Ronn Motor Company, Evcarco is the new face in eco-friendly car sales.  The company is dedicated to providing consumers with the best selection of green vehicles and will offer the new high-end Scorpion from Ronn Motors in addition to its preowned inventory.  
The dealerships will offer convenient financing solutions, warranties, and the ability to shop online.  Shipping is available if a local Evcarco dealership isn't available in your area and franchise opportunities are also an option if you're interested in opening your own Evcarco dealership.  
Green Driving Options
At Evcarco, you'll find typical eco-friendly vehicle models - including hybrid Accords, the award-winning Prius, and electric commuter cars like the Wheego Whip.  You'll also see a few surprises in the showroom, all equipped with the RMC H2GO hydrogen injection system.  
The H2GO system is the technology used in the near-zero emissions Scorpion and has proven its effectiveness with reduced emissions and improved gas mileage in big rig fleets in Texas.  The system will be installed in all non-eco cars sold by Evcarco to ensure a truly green alternative for drivers.  
Drive Green with Evcarco
Currently, you can shop Evcarco of Fort Worth's inventory online by make, model, car type, color, price range, or fuel efficiency or visit the dealership in person at 7703 Sand Street.  Additional Evcarco dealerships are coming soon in Texas, California, Oklahoma, Georgia, Nevada, and Florida with plans for more locations in the future.
Visit Evcarco's website for more information on buying a green preowned car or for investment and franchise opportunities.  Visit Ronn Motor Company for details on the Scorpion and H2GO system.

New Tesla Model S Is Unveiled

Tesla Motors, makers of the popular Roadster, recently unveiled their latest all-electric automobile in California to great fanfare. According to the company press release, The Model S "will likely be the world's first mass-produced, highway-capable electric vehicle when production begins in late 2011". The EV automaker anticipates the base price for the Model S to be $49,900 after a federal tax credit of $7,500. The company has already received 520 reservations for the Model S even though it only launched on March 26, 2009. Tesla Motors CEO, Chairman and Product Architect Elon Musk said, "Frankly the number of cars reserved in the first week has exceeded our optimistic internal projections". In addition to the successful Model S launch, Tesla announced delivery of over 170 Roadsters in the first quarter; this total surpasses the total delivered for all of 2008.
As a family sedan, the stylish Model S is roomy - it can accommodate seven people, and efficient - it can travel up to 300 miles per charge. The car can be recharged from any 120V, 208 V, or 240V outlet or quick-charged from an external direct current supply in only 45 minutes! It will top out at an electronically limited speed of 130 mph and goes 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. The Model S offers a 17-inch touchscreen with in-car 3G connectivity which will enable the driver to check the car's state of charge remotely on their iPhone. After an East Coast premier in Washington, DC, Tesla Motors plans to show a drivable prototype in New York, Chicago, Miami, and Seattle this spring and summer. For the EV auto connoisseur, Tesla Motors is taking reservations for the Model S Signature Edition which will offer unique interior and exterior features. For a $40,000 reservation fee, you can reserve one of only 2,000 Signature Edition cars that will be produced.
