The 24 hour demonstration is good news for electric vehicle fleet owners who are searching for ways to extend the daily range of existing electric vehicles beyond the standard 30-60 miles.

"A 15 minute opportunity charge during break or lunch will send the truck back out on the street with nearly a full battery pack, greatly extending the capability of the vehicle." The demonstration vehicle charged at an AeroVironment PosiCharge Fast Charge Station. Charge sequences lasted between six and 15 minutes.

AeroVironment predicts PosiCharge will be used extensively by utility companies and municipal governments to build the so-called "electric vehicle corridors," electric vehicle-friendly regions where owners are assured of a quick recharge during their journey. The PosiCharge design incorporates an industry standard connector in compliance with SAE sae abbr (BRIT) (= stamped addressed envelope) → sobre con las propias señas de uno y con sello J-1772 for conductive conductive having the quality of readily conducting electric current. conductive flooring flooring or floor covering made specially conductive to electrical current, usually by the inclusion of copper wiring that is earthed charging equipment. The system also complies with SAE J-2293, the standard for communication and control. Though the first production deliveries are for industrial use, a consumer version will be offered later this year. PosiCharge is sold and serviced through a nationwide distribution network of large utility companies including Southern Co., Boston Edison, Central and Southwest, Hawaiian Electric Co. and Sacramento Municipal Utility District. Several automotive companies have embraced fast charging standards. Ford Motor Co. took delivery of the first production intent PosiCharge unit at its Electric Vehicle Division last November. The system has been used to test a new fast charge version of the Ford Ranger EV The Ford Ranger EV (Electric Vehicle) is a battery electric vehicle produced by Ford Motor Company. It was produced starting in the 1998 model year through 2002 and is no longer in production. It is built upon a light truck chassis used in the Ford Ranger. .
