With everyone's growing concern over climate change and so much of North Americans' personal contribution related to their transportation, our next book at Aztext Press is called "The Zero-Carbon Car: Building the Car the Auto Industry Can't Get Right."

As part of our "Solutions for Sustainability" series, this book looks at personal transportation and the contribution of the internal combustion engine to climate change. The book will discuss alternatives that can make a real difference.

William "Bill" Kemp is currently in development of a plug-in electric vehicle that will take a radically new approach to extending the driving range of an electric vehicle. This vehicle is unlike the current breed of commercially available hybrid vehicles which supplement the electric motor with an internal combustion engine for power to propel the car.

Bill has taken a production vehicle and converted it to an "EV" or electric vehicle. The battery technology, which will be explored in detail in the book, shows that you don't have to go broke purchasing exotic batteries for a fully functional electric vehicle, and that the technology to extend the driving range of such a vehicle to equal that of regular cars, exists today.

He is also developing a control system that uses "off-the-shelf" components to regulate the major components of an electric vehicle - information that will be available to readers of the book.

Bill Kemp's engineering team is refining the design and will share the secrets in the new book, which will be out this fall.

If you watched the recent documentary "Who Killed the Electric Car" and were left feeling let down about the future of cleaner transportation, fear not. The technology exists today and this fall Bill Kemp will share it with the world!
