Vancouver, BC Canada— April 2007 — Ecodrive Technology Group will introduce the new SLIC BOX Powered Li-Ion Drivetrain System For Electric Vehicles at The Green Living Show in Toronto on April 27 to 29. The Green Living Show, the largest tradeshow of everything green in Canada will showcase many of the newest sustainable transportation technologies from major car companies including General Motors, Toyota, Honda and Nissan. Former US President Al Gore will make a special appearance at the show and present his special “Inconvenient Truth” seminar. Attendees at the show will have a chance to take part in the Ride and Drive demonstration - the opportunity to drive a SLIC BOX powered vehicle equipped with this innovative new propulsion technology.

The SLIC BOX Drivetrain in itself is an engineering marvel, developed with three integrated subsystems: the SLIC Universal Battery Modules, configured in varying sizes and capacities; the battery balancing and management circuits used to protect and extend the life of the SLIC BOX modules to over 1,200 full charging cycles; specially designed Li-Ion battery charger guided by preprogrammed firmware that smartly charges the SLIC BOX modules.

The SLIC BOX Drivetrain System offers electric vehicles enhanced performance and benefits in the following areas:
1. Scalable cylindrical and tubular formats made available for specialized EV applications. The flexible form factor design allows SLIC BOX modules to be connected or stacked in any desired form and configuration, either in series or in parallel. This flexibility enables ease of implementation for any size of applications and platforms.
2. Quick charging capability allows SLIC BOX modules to be charged in as little as one hour.
3. Offers high cycle life, handle rapid charging, and longer run-times.
4. Stable operational characteristics that result in superior reliability and safety.
5. Compact and Light-weight design – less than half the weight of lead acid batteries with significant gain in power and energy capacity.
6. Highest temperature performance; Emits little heat – Zero thermo runaway.
7. No memory effect.
