FYI
The San Francisco and Los Angeles Auto Shows for 2012 have now played their tunes
and we are left to examine what of real significance has been revealed
amidst the bombast and hyperbole that accompanies every next new thing.What new car introduction will really make a difference?  We'd like to modestly suggest that our little KleenSpeed KAR has lived up to our billing as "the most intelligent automobile ever conceived".The new energy revolution will be driven by electricity.
While TESLA stakes out the high end over $50K, BMW's i3 expects to land in the the mid $40s, Leafs, Sparks, I-MiEVs and sundry belly up to $30K
.... most with a range limited to well under 100 miles
... the humble KAR that could be shatters the market with a list price under $10,000
and a range topping 150 miles
... enabled by KleenSpeed's innovative battery lease model
and the advanced technology of KleenSpeed's GenESSys™ battery.  After the San Francisco reveal of the KAR, consumer response has been sensational,
with hundreds of show attendees expressing a purchase interest in the KAR.  At KleenSpeed, we are now focused on finding the right partners and investors
to finalize the production versions of the GenESSys™ 40 and KAR 2+2.We have shown the world what the future can be,
and look forward to moving into that future in 2013.  We wish you all a very happy holiday season and an exciting new year.
