Phoenix Motorcars of Ontario, California is beginning to market an all electric Sport Utility Truck build on the chassis of a South Korean made truck. The battery pack is supplied by AltairNano (more about them in a future post), and company reps claim that the vehicle has a 130 mile range, and can recharged in 10 minutes (at a 220 volt outlet... longer at the household standard 110.)
Interesting news: Phoenix and Pacific Gas & Electric ( the dominant utility in Northern California and major proponent of electric vehicle and PHEV adoption, for obvious reasons) just announced a pact where PG&E will take delivery of 4 Phoenix SUTs.
Perhaps Phoenix finds success in this niche (fleets). It's somewhat limiting insofar as overall growth (e.g. no immediate mass market product), but it certainly bears keeping the company on your radar.
