Tom Hanks Got Himself an Electric Car

My Electric Car - Part 1

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Tom Hanks talks about one of his electric cars that is a new EV from AC Propulsion that is built by converting a Scion xB 5-speed to electric power.

The eBox’s unique lithium ion battery, made from 5,088 small cells, stores more energy with less weight than other EV batteries so the eBox is light and responsive.

Unfortunately it costs about $75,000 but if you're Tom Hanks that's like a couple hours of work.

When they can get the cost down to $25K we think they will have a real Lean Mean Green Machine on their hands.

Hopefully the good strides that we are making now with electric cars won't have long term negative effects like the subject matter of Tom Hanks' new film "Charlie Wilson's War." It's a drama about a Texas congressman Charlie Wilson's covert dealings in Afghanistan, and how his efforts to assist rebels with a war against the Soviets have some unforeseen and long-reaching effects... you know the old, " the US taught them how to fight and now they are fighting the US story."

You think we would have learned our lesson on that one but somehow the play book doesn't get read or passed on to the new coaches and the players don't seem to care they just march out on the field for another day of football.

You know, the Hummer was subsidized by a tax credit, anyone know how we can get a tax break on the eBox so we can all run out and buy one????

Come on Mr. Hanks, we love your movies, we love that you drive electric cars how can you help the middle class afford eBoxes?

If anyone can help America afford electric cars it's you Tom Hanks. You have a voice that can be heard. You have the ears of people that can make changes. There are millions of people who would drive electric cars if they could afford them. Keep up the good work you are doing and help us get there.
