WOKING, England, January 14 - EVO Electric, a leader in the design, development, production, and
sales/licensing of electric drive solutions for the automotive sector,
announced today that its advanced Axial Flux motor technology was selected to
power the Radical SRZero, an electric supercar unveiled today at Autosport
International 2010 in Birmingham, England. The SRZero is powered by two EVO
AFM motors, which offer unparalled perfor­mance in terms of power, torque,
weight, size, efficiency, reliability and durability. Radical Sportscars, the
Peterborough-based sportscar manufacturer, worked with Imperial College
London's Racing Green Endurance team to develop this all-electric supercar,
and the results are stunning. The Radical SRZero has a top speed of 190 km/h
with capability to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. The
supercar will be demonstrated in a number of events, culminating with a
26,000km (16,000 mile) endurance trip from Argentina to Alaska later this
year. The Radical SRZero aims to be the world's most focused, fun-to-drive
electric vehicle.

EVO technology is also featured at the International Boat Show in London
(8-17 of January). EVO was selected to supply motors for the "Fast Electric",
an all-electric boat designed by Patterson Boatworks, a specialist builder of
luxury and racing boats. The boat is available for purchase from Patterson
and Bates Wharf Marine Sales Ltd.

"Motorsports and luxury boating are a great way of demonstrating the
capabilities of EVO technology", commented David Latimer, CEO of EVO
Electric. "Many technologies are first implemented in motorsports and other
niches before migrating to the larger but more cost-sensitive mainstream
vehicle market segments. We believe the same will happen with hybrid and
electric vehicle technologies including EVO's advanced electric motors and
generators, which are also being implemented in other near-term applications
such as commercial and military vehicles."
