⚡️ Powering Towards Sustainability! 🌞💨🚗

Renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) are a match made in sustainability heaven! As we shift towards a cleaner energy landscape, EVs play a crucial role in driving the synergy between renewable energy and transportation.

By charging your EV with electricity from renewable sources like solar or wind, you're tapping into a truly sustainable energy cycle. EVs become not just vehicles but mobile energy storage units, contributing to a more resilient and efficient energy grid.

Let's harness the power of the sun, the wind, and EVs, creating a harmonious ecosystem where transportation and renewable energy work hand in hand. Together, we can power towards a sustainable future.

Did you know that EV charging stations are not just convenient spots to power up your electric vehicle? They often come with a delightful bonus – picturesque locations that offer stunning views and a chance to reconnect with nature!

With more charging stations being added to California State parks every day, next time you're on a road trip take time for a picturesque picnic while you charge up your car and yourself.

Did you know electric cars are generally faster than cars that run on gasoline? The electric motor instantly generates 100% of available torque to transition from stationary to an instantaneous speed. Air Pure gets from 0 - 60 in just 3.8 seconds 😮

Sales of EVs have been soaring over the past year, increasing 66% in the United States last year to 810,000, according to Kelley Blue Book.

What's driving the shift? Autmakers are getting better at making them more efficiently as production increases, and auto executives are even saying that they are finding it is easier and cheaper to design and build new electric models than gasoline-powered ones.

EV newsflash!

Increased competition, government incentives and falling prices for lithium and other battery materials are making electric vehicles noticeably more affordable. The tipping point when electric vehicles become as cheap or cheaper than cars with internal combustion engines could arrive this year for some mass market models and is already the case for some luxury vehicles.

Lunaz Design transforms a rare 1961 Bentley S2 Continental into a zero-emmisions cruiser.

Lunaz Design, an automotive company specializing in electric restomods, has recently unveiled its latest creation – a 1961 Bentley S2 Continental. This classic car is one of only four examples ever produced, making it an ultra-rare find. However, Lunaz has taken things to the next level by transforming it into an all-electric vehicle.

The classic car now boasts a proprietary modular electric drivetrain, producing 394 horsepower and 530 lb-ft of torque. This provides the Bentley with the motivation to reach 62 mph in just 6.9 seconds, a considerable improvement over its original performance.

In addition to its upgraded drivetrain, the Continental S2 also features a fully adjustable coil-spring suspension that can be adjusted from the cabin, as well as six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston calipers in the rear to bring the car to a stop.

The interior of the car has been refurbished with sustainable materials, such as leather tanned with naturally-fallen olive leaves and carpets made from 100% regenerated nylon fiber. The wood veneer dashboard is certified by the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), ensuring responsible sourcing.
