Bright Automotive Adds Evan House as VP for Battery Development
By Greg Johnson May 22, 2009
Bright Automotive
has added Evan House as vice president for battery development.
House previously was with Seeo Inc., Altairnano Inc. and EnerDel Inc.
Here's a bit of what Bright has to say about the scientist's work at Altairnano:
"He played a significant role in reviving the current growing interest in electric
vehicles by developing 100-mile range, 10-minute recharge, and 20-year life battery systems."
The Indiana-based start-up hopes to market a 100-miles-per-gallon plug-in electric hybrid light-duty truck (above) that would be sold exclusively to fleet operators. The privately held company hopes to introduce the Bright Idea truck late in 2012 and be producing 50,000 units annually by 2013. The company hasn't released a base price for the proposed vehicle.
Bright's chief executive officer is John Waters, who developed the battery pack for the General Motors Corp. EV1 vehicle.
