This is a breaking technology and I will be adding stories and cost and availability and stats as I get them.  I will also have to revise my Concept1 plans to work with this exciting new battery replacement.

EeStor Ultracapacitor High Voltage Batteries

EeStor Ultracapacitor high voltage batteries has licensed its technology to Lockheed Martin (see LM EeStor Ultracapacitor) and to Zenn Motor Cars.  We want this technology for our Concept All Makes and Models Vehicle Conversions because the Battery Pack (BP) is 10 times more powerful and 1/10 the cost of conventional batteries.  We hope to be able to get a contract to sell 600 VDC 200 Amp Hour EeStor Ultracapacitor.  They already have the patented technology, now we need the power to make the Concept1 proto-type an affordable conversion for the hundreds of millions of pre-owned or currently owned vehicles a reality.  The EeStor can be charged 1,000,000 (million) times.  It can be charged on 110 or 220 VDC household or commercial current in 3 to 6 hours and the super charge from 2,000 VDC from a commercial electric filling station will likely take only 5 to 10 minutes.  EeStor sold Zenn Motor Cars 3.8% of its stock with the right to buy and use its technology.  It also appears that Zenn has the option to buy to a total of 10.5% of the EeStor stock.  (See EeStor Ultracapacitor Zenn)

Tesla is alleged to have created an Ultracapacitor in the early 1900's.  As the story goes, J. Paul Getty made Tesla a very rich man and the technology disappeared.  Perhaps EeStor has re-created the Tesla Ultracapacitor in an new improved version that I hope will become available to the masses.  I guess time will tell.

If this technology can be licensed to Concept1 the we can make it available to new vehicle car and truck dealers all over North America.  The dealerships that have lost their franchises can restart as Licensee's of Zenn doing gasoline and diesel vehicle conversions into EeStor battery operated electric vehicles that will have the same or greater horsepower and torque and that will run for just a few cents per mile.  This will help our economy and free our country from relying on overseas oil countries that rape us with huge price increases.

We have been designing the electric vehicle conversion now for over 2 years and the big hold up has been the cost and efficiency of the battery to power the 3-phase 400 volt alternating current motor.  With the EeStor Ultracapacitor battery we should be able to generate the 600 volts of direct battery current we will need for our inverter.  The internal combustion engine (ICE) parts can be removed and the Concept1 conversion parts can be installed in 16 hours once the dealership employees have been factory trained by our experts.

Our goal is to make all of the components for the conversion in North America, preferable in the United States at factories that have recently been closed due to the GM and Chrysler shut downs.  We want all of the new vehicle dealership to be able to buy the franchise and offer the conversions to their existing customer who drive their brand of car, van or truck.  We also want to offer it to city buses, big freight hauler trucks and motor homes. 

The EeStor battery charge should last about 2.5 hours and it can be re-charged to full power using 120/240 volts alternating current in 3 to 6 hours.  There is also talk of a 5 minute charge using a 2,000 volt charger.  The vehicle will offer an option on board battery charger and gas power generator for on board charging.  To see and understand it click here: Concept1

I will post more informational links when I get the time.
