[...] Today, ALTe Powertrain Technologies, a Michigan startup created by electric vehicle experts (part of Tesla’s original technical team in Michigan), with a staff and board of seasoned auto industry veterans, is announcing an installer partner to convert fleet trucks to plug in. It’s Manheim, the world’s largest vehicle wholesaler, and the conversions will be available in multiple U.S. locations. ALTe http://www.altellc.com may be the first company to demonstrate a realistic technical solution and a business case for the “Big Fix” strategy that CalCars, Andy Grove, and others have been promoting. Its Ford F-150 pickup truck becomes a series plug-in hybrid (like the Chevy Volt) — and for sales it’s aiming first at public and private fleet markets. Yesterday, ALTE brought its prototype to Sacramento for demos and drives, attracting a large audiences of legislators and agency officials, including Caltrans, the state’s Department of Transportation, which has a large fleet. Today it’s at Sand HIll Road in Silicon Valley. Following soon after today’s announcement will be news of the first customers — and, we hope, a US Department of Energy loan! More...

[...] For several years, CalCars has been a near-lone voice in suggesting to thought-leaders in the energy security and environmental communities that we need conversions of existing internal combustion vehicles to accelerate the market penetration rates for plug-in vehicles. While getting a million new plug-ins by 2015 will be a near-miraculous accomplishment, it will remain an underpowered achievement. And with 250 vehicles on the road, so would a subsequent 10-15 million more in a decade. So we’re encouraged that the highly influential James Woolsey is now speaking positively of this strategy. Details below. Plus an encouraging report that production costs for the Chevy Volt could go down! Finally, we reproduce an important report by Ron Gremban, CalCars Technology Lead, after he refueled his Volt for the first time. This includes our announcement that he has begun to instrument his car to gain more data about the driving operations of the Chevy Volt — which could lead to a new open-source project for CalCars.
