Ask any motorist and they'll tell you that the only reason they don't trade in their petrol cars for pure clean EVs is the range limitation of currently available vehicles.

 

If we had a range of pure battery electric vehicle designs from different manufacturers, their cars might also incorporate the PAYD intelligent battery management system.

 

This system for charging for energy at service forecourts calculates depreciation and energy costs for each motorist at every battery exchange. A Blueplanet motorist never has to buy a new battery. No big financial shocks lurk to catch out those wanting to drive clean cars.

 

Electric cars are cheaper to run. They don't pollute our cities and the energy delivery chain can be far more efficient overall.

 

If you are an energy company interested in supplying electricity for EVs equipped with the cartridge exchange instant refueling system, we would like to hear from you.

 

Motor manufacturers who are interested in exploring the possibilities for this technology should contact us. We will be pleased to advise if a particular floorpan of any of your production vehicles may be adapted easily to use the Ecostar™ cartridge refueling system.
