July 17th, '06: From the Inventor: What we have been doing is the following. In 2003 and 2004 we were using DC motor and controller technology, and during our extended testing we started having failures with the motors. The motors couldn't handle the high rpms or the heat and vibration of the engine compartment. We had to find a superior technology and that led us to the switched reluctance technology. We also secured 6 patents on the hybrid system and the switched reluctance technology along the way. The next step for us was to increase our capital because the switched reluctance technology is expensive to develop, but inexpensive to produce in volume. ETA for the fleet version is around 18 months. A lil' longer for the consumer version.
