Their team is a small group of technology-minded innovators who are committed to doing things differently — from automotive design, manufacturing and distribution, to service needs and the entire customer experience.

Their all new all electric car is set to be released for sale in limited quantities at the end of 2011.  We hear they might bring something special to this event…..wonder what that might be?
