Altairnano and Phoenix to Exhibit With AAA At the San Francisco International Auto Show
RENO, Nev.--Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. , will demonstrate its safe, fast charge, long life NanoSafe batteries in Phoenix Motorcars’ zero emission, all electric, freeway ready sports utility truck (SUT) at the San Francisco International Auto show to be held in the Moscone Center. The Altairnano-powered Phoenix SUT will be featured in the AAA Greenlight™ Initiative Showcase in booths 1075, 1076 and 1077 for the duration of the show from November 17th through 26th.
Altairnano’s nano-Titanate battery packs allow the Phoenix sport utility truck (SUT) to exceed all specifications for the State of California Type III ZEV. The NanoSafe 35kWh pack can be recharged in less than 10 minutes with the appropriate battery charger, provides sufficient power and energy for a fleet vehicle to travel up to 130 miles and can travel at speeds up to 95mph.
“We are excited to feature the Altairnano-powered Phoenix SUT in AAA’s Greenlight™ Initiative Showcase. As a full-sized all electric vehicle, it offers an alternative to gasoline powered vehicles with the benefits of low running costs and environmental friendliness,” said AAA of Northern California spokeswoman Jenny Mack.
“Since launching our NanoSafe battery in the Phoenix SUV at the California Air Resources Board ZEV meeting in late September, we have received significant interest in the batteries. The NanoSafe battery features of fast charge, very long life and safety appear to meet the key requirements for batteries in the electric vehicle and hybrid electric vehicle markets,” said Alan J. Gotcher, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Altair Nanotechnologies Inc.
