AC Propulsion is a San Dimas, California company founded in 1992 by Alan Cocconi who is currently the company's CEO. They produce goods such as electric vehicle drive systems and their top of the line electric sports car, the AC Propulsion TZero. They also test prototype electric vehicles such as the "Plug Bug", a Volkswagen Beetle modified to run on electric power.
ACPropulsion's tzero roadster is a reason to not give up on the electric vehicle.
ACPropulsion had made the tzero with lead-acid batteries since 1997, but this year released a revamped version with the kind of lithium-ion batteries used in laptop computers.
But even if ACPropulsion claims the vehicle has efficiency equivalent to 70 mpg (and zero emissions), the tzero is, to a certain extent, an exercise in automotive fantasy.
ACPropulsion, Inc. is a California corporation located in San Dimas that designs, develops, and manufactures electric vehiclepropulsion systems and builds vehicle prototypes.
ACPropulsion sells products and conducts R and D programs for companies and research groups around the world in areas such as electric and hybrid electric vehicle development, battery testing, and hybrid power unit development.
ACPropulsion will build a grid-connected hybrid electric vehicle that will demonstrate the benefits and capabilities of significant battery-only range, bi-directional grid interface, clean onboard power generation capacity used as distributed generation, and remote control of onboard power capacity via wireless communication.
