We're getting closer to this image of a pure electron-driven traditional American summer weekend with a pair of new electric boat motors by SolidNav. The company has announced a new "green" line of motors, designed for sailboats and small watercraft. There are two motors in the line up: the Explorer (pictured) and the Traveler, both available now. The Explorer is as powerful as a 24hp diesel motor and is suited for vessels up to 30 feet long. The smaller Traveler weighs less than 60 pounds and "has been designed for sailboats, pontoon boats and small watercraft." An upside to battery-powered boating: no worries about E10 in your motor. All that fun doesn't come cheap. The Explorer is $4,995 and the Traveler run $2,499. They are what they are. Don't forget you could just go canoeing. Excerpt from EvWorld article.

 High Gas Prices, Air Pollution and Global Warming have finally reached a crisis level. The Alternative Energy solution: Electrification of Transportation. Electric Vehicles are a huge opportunity. How about Billion if not Trillion dollars huge! Lately we have seen tremendous momentum building in EV related business activities such as Project Better Place, GM Volt, Electric Vehicle to Grid technology or Ev2g, manufacturing, Branding, Advertising, Conversion, Charging/Recharging infrastructure,Corporate Fleet purchasing/leasing, Rental/EV Taxi just to name a few.

Today, the world depends on oil as its fundamental transportation energy source. With the rapid rise in oil prices, a number of alternatives to oil have been attempted with little success. Today existing technologies and systems can provide the infrastructure and scale necessary to make electric vehicles (EV) a viable alternative to gasoline-based vehicles.
However low adoption rates sofar have resulted from the lack of pervasive recharging infrastructure with a network of recharge stations to provide consumers with the ability to keep their electric vehicles (EV) charged and functional at all times.
Now the escalating inncrease in the price of oil, and the downward trend in the price of nanosafer batteries coincide beautifully to to bring about a shift in the energy-transportation paradigm.. For the first time, it costs less to operate and maintain an electric vehicle than ICE-powered vehicle. By 2012, the energy production and storage required by an electric vehicle will only cost for a small fraction that of a traditional fuel-powered automobile.
Because they offer better performance and are less expensive, EVs are bound to become more appealing. Mass adoption will greatly reduce dependence on oil while minimizing adverse environmental impact.  ELECTRIC VEHICLE DOMAIN NAMES AVAILABLEAT EVDOMAINS.COM
