Javlon electric car from Miles Automotive

I first heard about the Javlon electric car through EV World's video interview with the strangely named I. Zion Enos of Miles Automotive.

How refreshing it is to hear an auto executive describe his chairman, the independently wealthy Miles Ruben, as a visionary focused on giving back and to say of his company that their mission is 'to do good, to provide options for the consumer to live better, cleaner, leave a legacy of goodness.' So much better than the spin we hear from GM and Ford.

miles_javlon.jpgThe Javlon is already fully crash tested for the US and Europe - safety is a big feature of Miles Automotive - and dealerships are now being set up across the US so that the company's range of electric cars (including NEVs the ZX40 and the OR70) can be provided on a mass scale starting late in 2008.

Here is the spec as far as I can assemble it from the interview:

Javlon
Manufacturer: Miles Automotive, designed by Pininfarina, Italy and built in China
Vehicle type: 4-door 5 seater sedan
Usage: Intercity
Construction: Steel body
Speed: up to 85mph
0-60mph: n/a
Batteries: Lithium ion, 10 year warranty
Charge time: 6 hours
Range: up to 150 miles
Price: $28-£31K
Planned delivery date: from late 2008 through US dealership network

Just found this other Javlon interview here.

Or not.
'Javlon' has been renamed XS500 and as of September 2008 (when they said they'd be selling the car) no real launch date has been given.

With respect, it seems the spin from wealthy Miles Ruben is actually no better than the spin we hear from GM and Ford.
The net result is still no EVs.

Driver Education is a new and innovative way for you or someone you know to prepare for their DMV Learners Permit and fulfill your driver education requirements.

The hybrid vehicles and especially the electric cars are talk of the town. The electric car is the best alternative for the petroleum cars. The reason for this includes many statements. The electric cars have a lot of advantages over the old fashioned petroleum cars.

It is nice to know that there are automobile companies who look after the welfare of their consumers. Since most of automobile companies sell cars at high prices without even advertising that their cars are looking after the protection of the people riding it... I commend Miles Automotive for having the thought of thinking the consumers.
