Edison2 Unveils New Super-MPG Car At The Henry Ford

DEARBORN — Finally, a 21st Century car that really looks like it came from the 21st Century.

The venue was appropriate. The Henry Ford is a shrine to American innovation, and the Edison2 is packed with innovation from stem to stern.

Looking Ahead

The X Prize is only the beginning for Edison2. 

After all, the goal of the Progressive Automotive X Prize is to “inspire a new generation of viable, safe, and super fuel‐efficient vehicles that help break our addiction to oil and stem the effects of climate change.” An important goal to address our most pressing problem, and Edison2, we believe, is at the forefront of this new generation.

Our innovations in light-weighting and aerodynamics can change the way people think about and build cars. Elegantly simple and highly efficient, the Very Light Car doesn’t just set an example of the level of efficiency we need to aspire to, but is designed to be affordable enough to make a real difference: low mass and mainstream materials will result in an under $20,000 car.

Our hope is to expand our transportation technology business right here in Virginia. Last week Oliver visited two nearby former textile factories that are ideally located: near rail, supported by a machinist base, and adjacent to several colleges, a growing small city and an airport. And with infrastructure easily converted to a 2 mile test track.

The next few years are going to be very exciting at Edison2.

Wish you well...
I can remember car factories being active on east coast (Mahwah, metuchen and Tarrytown). Arnod Schwarznegger in CA is adding real jobs now with EV production...capitalists may start to pay attention...
Insurance "crash dummy testing" will need to be accelerated,,,ie. need there be federal ownershipp of an accelerated timeline (via ARRA $) so as not to be a bottleneck.
