<\/p>\n
The gas pump doesn\u2019t care about you<\/h3>\n
It is heartless … and it knows that no matter what the cost, you need it in order to drive and survive, because it’s the only game in town.<\/p>\n
No one is coming to your rescue<\/h3>\n
Electric cars are the antidote to depending solely on oil for all our transportation needs. But the long-range electric cars most companies are building are inherently costly and require complex charging solutions.<\/p>\n
The problem<\/h3>\n
100 years of cars has led us to think a car is only practical if it has 300+ miles of range, 4+ seats, and 1 million fast-fueling locations. But when electricity to fuel an electric car is available from standard 110v outlets at home and when most of our daily driving consists of just 1 or 2 people driving less than 40 miles a day, we don\u2019t need a \u201ctraditional\u201d kind of car to be made electric. We need a new kind of car; one that is specifically designed for those short-distance, low-occupancy trips that make up most of our driving.<\/p>\n
The solution<\/h3>\n
The Point5 \u201chalf-car\u201d is that new kind of car: half the seats, half the weight, half the cost and no gasoline.\u00a0And when the Point5 doesn\u2019t have the range or capacity your trip requires, you take a more traditional car.<\/p>\n
The impact<\/h3>\n
High gas prices and the high cost of cars are both attacks on our freedom of movement. The Point5 gives you the power to take back control of your transportation dollars by cutting your family\u2019s use of gasoline by more than half with an electric car that costs about $20,000 less to own than a used gas car. And the Point5 doesn\u2019t require any new charging infrastructure: just a 110-volt outlet you already have at home. The Point5: it\u2019s your lean green driving machine that helps you dump the pump on local trips so you can save money, save time AND save our planet.<\/p>\n
Creating the Model T of EVs<\/strong><\/h3>\nn 1908, the new technology was self-propelled \u201chorseless carriages.\u201d Two hundred and fifty-three models of these were already in the market \u2014 but few people bought them because they cost too much. What everyday people really wanted was a better version of what they already knew \u2014 namely, faster horses.<\/p>\n
Today\u2019s new technology is cars that run on electricity. Tens of millions want to drive electric cars to save our planet from climate catastrophe, but over 96% of Americans keep buying gas cars because today\u2019s electric cars cost too much and aren\u2019t as good as gas cars for long-distance trips.<\/p>\n
The Model T was affordable, practical to use and profitable to build. The Model T of EVs is an electric car being used for local trips as a 2nd family vehicle. Myers EV is building the Model T of EVs \u2014 it is more affordable to buy than the average used gas car, it is practical for 7 of 10 car trips, it is simple to charge (at home, from a standard 110-volt outlet, overnight) and it is projected to be profitable to build on volumes as low as 1,000 cars per year.<\/p>\n
The Model T was faster \u2014 it wasn\u2019t a horse \u2014 but it turned out to be just what was needed for the new century and millions of people bought it.<\/p>\n
The Point5 is electric \u2014 but it\u2019s not a 4+ person, all-purpose, long-range car that can be fueled in five minutes. However, it is cheaper to buy and operate than a gas car for about 70% of all our driving needs. The Point5 represents a disruptive new market segment at a much better price point for consumers who want to drive electric affordably.<\/p>\n
