Business Model / Plan in Progress:Maui Energy Group Represents the Development of Alternative Fueled Vehicle Technologies, Transportation Systems, Energy Power Storage and Management Services in Hawaii, included but not limited to All-Electric, Electric Hybrid, Electric Plug-in Hybrid, Bio-Fuel, Hydrogen, Solar Assisted and Compressed Air Vehicles; to expand existing Technologies and assist in the development of new ones. Our goal is to reduce our dependence on Fossil Fuel, reduce Air Pollutions and Toxin’s, and develop a World Class Showcase for these Alternative Fueled Vehicles in our Hawaiian Environment.
Transportation contributes to global warming through the burning of gasoline and diesel fuel. Any process that burns fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the air. Based on global warming potential, carbon dioxide accounts for over 80 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions in the United States. In 2004, transportation sources accounted for approximately one quarter of total U.S. greenhouse gases emissions.
In contrast with trends in other air emissions, greenhouse gas emissions from transportation continue to rise, in large part because travel growth has outpaced improvements in Vehicle Energy Efficiency.
Increasingly expensive oil and global warming are causing an energy revolution by requiring oil to be supplemented by alternative energy sources and by requiring changes in our lifestyle. These Requirements of change allow us an opportunity to set an example for the World to see now…The attention generated in Hawaii will allow us to attract better Technology Funded by Federal Grants, Venture Capitalist, Venture Funds, and Private Capital for Future Development. Our successful Comfort Ruling will allow us to raise these funds for our Company’s business development in Hawaii.
Energy Web Site & Blogs:
Hawaii Alternative Energy Groups:
Our Web Site will focus on all Hawaiian Companies that are developing and working with Alternative Energy Concepts.
Our Alternative Energy Blog is a place where all topics relating to The Hawaii Energy Revolution are presented in a forum for basis discussion. We hope that our web site will be a useful reference for those who wish to find information about The Hawaii Energy Revolution.
http://www.mauienergygroup.comA forum for the people of Hawaii, as well as those from around the World to see and hear of the progress of Hawaii to become a world leader in Alternative Energy Development in our unique Island Life Styles.
Maui Energy Group is committed to this development in Hawaii, working closely with Manufacturers from around the World to bring and develop these Alternative Energy Programs as a Model for Our Future Energy Independence.
These Companies are interested in working closely with us for Research and Development purposes including but not limited to everyday use trials, data acquisition / analysis, further development and standardization, maintenance and service, and the development of an infra-structure for our Electric Car Rapid Charging Stations located for convenient use around the Island of Maui.
Of particular interest is the challenge of advancing the electric car market by incorporating our new technologies, which will maximize the consumer appeal and acceptance of these in our every day lifestyle.
Our goal in the feasibility study phase has been to provide a comprehensive analysis to support Maui Energy Group in the process of commercializing our new Alternative Energy Transportation Concepts.
Two of the most promising Companies are Phoenix Motor Cars and Altairnano Technologies. Our co-development agreements allow us the opportunity to bring this exciting revolutionary technology to Hawaii.
We have two NanoSafe battery packs, a 35 KWh and 70 KWh Pack, that can be recharged in less than 10 minutes using our new industrial 480 volt battery charging platform. The NanoSafe battery packs can also be charged over longer periods of time when using typical 120 or 240 volt power sources. Our on-board charger system is standard equipment for both the Phoenix SUT and SUV Vehicles. We are working on a Thin Film Solar Rap for 100% Clean Energy trickle-charging while You are at work!
"The Nanomaterials Altair has developed are the next generation of electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries and Altair's research and product development is laying the ground work for a new generation of ultra high power lithium ion batteries,"( 250 Mile range ), commented Altair’s Dr. K. M. Abraham. "A key requirement to the above applications is the ability to recharge the battery very quickly, for example in a few ( under 10) minutes. Current Li-Ion batteries are incapable of such quick charge times because of the chemistry of the anode materials. Altair has found a solution to this with their nano-sized lithium titanium oxide." (nano-titanate)
"Altair's nanomaterials, which have a virtually zero strain crystal lattice, eliminate the main cause for battery electrode material fatigue, which limits rechargeable battery life, increasing the number of recharge and discharge cycles from a few hundred to many thousand cycles,"(12,000), said Dr. Vassilis G. Keramidas. "I find Altair's development strategy and proposed research direction sound and a necessary step in establishing the Li-Ion electrochemistry as a viable contender for large battery applications."
"Our research in battery electrode materials is a further indication of how Altair's scientists are able to apply their Nanomaterials science knowledge to solving real world needs," commented Altair CEO Dr. Alan J. Gotcher. "Many of the technology and product development initiatives that we have been working on for the last few years are now ready for the commercialization stage. Each step is another validation of our business strategy and product technology platform. Altair's Nano material based, micro porous electrode technology has performance and stability advantages that appear to be unmatched when compared to the best commercialized technology in the market today."
Daniel J. Elliott, President & CEO of Phoenix Motorcars, met with President Bush on Friday, February 23, 2007 at 10:00am in the Oval Office in The White House. The Phoenix Motorcar SUT was showcased on the south lawn of The White House. We had a follow up meeting with Secretary of Energy Samuel Bogman and his staff on April 10, 2007, It was Electrifying ...we had a third follow-up meeting May 2, 3rd...we are moving forward!

We are working with Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman for New Energy Grants for Advanced Battery Power Storage Development, geared toward our new Technologies. We will do co-development with Phoenix, Altairnano, and Maui Energy Group together in Hawaii.
Let the Magic began...
