The County of Alameda recently entered into a partnership with ElectraDrive for a pilot conversion of one of its fleet Dodge Dakotas to extended-range electric drive. The vehicle is expected to enter road-testing around the middle of 2010.
The project is funded in part by a grant from the Greenlight Initiative of the California State Automobile Association.
ElectraDrive, a San Francisco based company, is developing three plug-in electric drivetrains for introduction in 2010 and 2011: Add-on Electric Drive; Pure EV; and Extended-Range EV (EREV). Products are targeted at pickups, vans, SUVs and large sedans.
ElectraDrive is preparing to accept prepayments and reservations for its Add-on Electric Drive for light trucks, beginning in January 2010.
