A used hybrid/prius of similar size can easily go for thousands more than what you can get this car for from this auction. Not only that, but you will no longer be a SLAVE to the gas pump. Imagine zipping pass your friends at the gas station (including the ones who drive a prius) as you go to work and play in this Solectria Force. Imagine no longer having to pay for maintenance on: OIL SYSTEMS, FUEL INJECTION SYSTEMS, COOLING SYSTEMS, and EXHAUST SYSTEMS (smog checks not a problem with this car, if you can find the tailpipe as there isnt any!) and so on. There are very few "moving" parts and so there is very little maintenance to be done on the vehicle; just tires and brakes (and even the brakes require little attention due to the regenerative braking of the system). You may be wondering what the costs are to charge this vehicle? Depending on your utility company, a full charge might put you out about $0.50 cents. Mileage wise you will get somewhere between 1-2 cents per mile (for the mathematically challenged thats about $3-$6 to go 300 miles)! Can your gas guzzler or prius do that?! For the environmentally conscience, you can cruise down the interstate at 55-60 mph and feel great knowing that you have not contributed a spec of carbon while driving the Solectria Force. Charging the Force is easy. Just open the door where the fuel tank used to be and plug in with a standard household plug. The charger is totally automatic, turning on when charging is needed, and shutting off automatically when the batteries are fully charged. Some states offer incentives for driving an all electric vehicle. For example, Florida will allow you to drive in HOV lanes regardless of passenger count for electric cars. Vehicle Specifications: System Power: 156 volts (13 BRAND NEW 12V lead acid sealed batteries) - a full charge takes 2 hours Top Speed: 70 mph Range: 50 miles @ 45 mph High-efficiency AC Induction Drive System Regenerative Braking Air Conditioning Tri-Power Selector Dual Airbags Power-Assist Brakes Electric Heater/Defroster 12V DC-DC Converter Battery Level Gauge (Digital Amp-Hour Meter) Onboard Battery Charger (220V/110V AC standard plug) Automatic Battery Thermal Management System - for optimal battery performance and life in cold-climate conditions Rear Window Defogger AM/FM Cassette Player Solectria Force Owners Manual Solectria Force Service Manual Costs: approximately 1.5 cents per mile (varies with local utilities) This car was previously owned and operated at a university, mostly for display. Consequently it has very low miles and still very much has the "new" car look despite its age. The body of the car is straight and free of rust. The exterior paint is in good condition with possibly several scuffs that can be anticipated for the age of the car. The interior is in like new condition. There is air conditioning installed on the vehicle that is fully functional and blows ice cold air. It has an FM/AM cassette stereo. The sealed lead acid batteries are brand new and were installed October 2008. They should provide you with many years of power (5+ years). The charger is totally automatic, turning on when charging is needed, and shutting off automatically when the batteries are fully charged. There is an extra set of tires and rims that come with the car. These are the thinner tires and more economical for greatest range. I currently have wider tires installed with premium rims for aesthetic purposes. The title is free and clear and is currently titled and tagged for the road with the State of Florida. The VIN number will reflect a chevy metro as that is the original body car Solectria used to build the cars. >From the service manual: With over one million miles of on-road experience, Solectria presents the Force electric sedan........... Offering state-of-the-art electric vehicle technology in a safe, comfortable, and spacious four-door sedan, the Solectria Force is the only production electric sedan that met all of the grueling requirements established by the nationwide electric utility industry and US Department of Energy coordinated EV America program. Solectria EV's today deliver reliable performance in challenging weather and geographic conditions ranging from Arizona to Vermont. The Force features smooth, whisper-quiet, shift-free operation, regenerative braking, a full-size trunk, and a convenient onboard charger requiring only a standard household outlet. A Tri-Power Selector facilitates efficient driving and maximizes battery life, while the battery thermal management system maintains range in cold weather and the Cabin Preheat system warms your vehicle before you climb in. Low-maintenance, user-friendly, and cost-effective Solectria electric vehicles make a positive environmental statement without sacrificing personal comfort. Solectria...the leader in electric vehicle technology. >From a previous Solectria spec sheet: In testing by the California Air Resources Board on a Federal Urban Driving Schedule, the Force completed twice as many miles as its nearest competitor. The Air Resources Board had this to say: "The heart of the Force is in the controller, motor and charger. Developed by Solectria, these components combine high efficiency with low weight to produce an EV with the most impressive range and performance characteristics of any currently available production EV of which ARB is aware." Solectria is the only private company selected by the California Energy Commission to participate in their Advanced Electric Vehicle Demonstration Program. Unlike the three other companies chosen (Ford, Chrysler, and Volkswagen), Solectria offers a product that is both affordable and in regular production.
