Members of the GreenCar Depot team attended the Alternative Fuel Vehicle Institute convention held in Las Vegas, Nevada on May 10-14th. This annual gathering showcases the newest technology being developed for alternative fuel vehicles. While primarily aimed at the fleet and industrial side of the vehicle market, there were many exciting and innovative changes for consumer users as well. Of particular interest was the growing number of electric vehicles (EVs) coming into the market. Bryon Bliss, VP of Sales and Marketing for Phoenix Motorcars spoke to attendees of the need for EV manufacturers to address consumer concerns around safety and range between charges. Are soccer moms and metro commuters willing to drive smaller, slower EVs? Or are people waiting for the highway-speed, full size sedans? Check out the conference at AFVI.org.
