Green Automotive Proceeds Forward on Plans to Expand Presence in China

NEWPORT BEACH, CA: November 23, 2011: Green Automotive Company (OTC:GACR) announced today that it has identified and is proceeding with negotiating terms on its planned Vehicle Assessment Center in Shanghai and, by year end, intends to lease and begin staffing the facility.

“This up-coming trip to China will be followed by periodic trips during the first quarter of next year to monitor the Company's progress on the build-out of the new facility and follow-up meetings with vehicle manufacturers.”

According to Mr. Fred Luke, Green Automotive President, "Company Director Ben Rainwater will return to China in mid December to decide on the optimal location for our GAC Vehicle Assessment Center. Together with Mr. Jack Tian, the Company's Chief Representative for China and Vice President of China Operations, Mr. Rainwater will also be meeting with other notable China-based vehicle manufacturers who are developing electric vehicles and who have expressed a strong interest in distributing their products in North America, including the manufacturer of the all-electric mini-van, also referred to as a multi-purpose vehicle or 'MPV.'"

As the Company announced in September, the Shanghai Vehicle Assessment Center will be managed by the Company's subsidiary, GAC Automotive Services, and will be opened under the name "GAC Vehicle Assessment Center" to perform Phase 1 - Vehicle Assessment and other evaluation work on Chinese manufactured vehicles, and to advise the manufacturers on how best to proceed with vehicle development necessary to meet U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards prior to shipping vehicles to the U.S. for further testing.

"As I stated in September," said Mr. Rainwater, "I believe that a Company facility in the Shanghai area should increase our presence and make an important statement to the Chinese vehicle manufacturers with whom Jack Tian and I have been meeting, that we fully intend to be in a position very soon to assess and deliver additional services related to their vehicles at a more efficient cost. I further believe that this on-the-ground presence will greatly assist us in the development of potential business partnerships with other Chinese automobile manufacturers and other automotive-related service companies."

According to Mr. Luke, "This up-coming trip to China will be followed by periodic trips during the first quarter of next year to monitor the Company's progress on the build-out of the new facility and follow-up meetings with vehicle manufacturers."
