• The good news is that you have found the site of the only company producing and delivering affordable highway speed all-electric vehicles in the US today.  Myers Motors actually has vehicles, made in the US, that it has sold and that are in the hands of real people (see the “I love my NmG” section).
• The good news is that we have now upgraded our battery system, with help from faculty and students at the University of Akron in developing a matching battery management system, to a lithium powered battery system that doubles our vehicle’s practical range to 50 miles, that increases vehicle efficiency through a weight reduction of 240 pounds, and multiplies the expected battery life expectancy about 5X over the previous battery system used.  All placed in our custom-made-to-order NmG.
• The other good news is that Myers Motors is extending its range of vehicle models to include its two-passenger NmG2, due out the summer of '09. 

Why buy an electric vehicle?

When you buy an electric vehicle you are:

1. Doing your part to reduce the $1 billion/day leaving the US to buy oil,
2. Sending a message to the oil companies that they don't have a monopoly on fuel for personal transportation, 
3. Doing your part to reduce world demand on an resource that is in limited supply, 
4. Doing your part to reduce demand on oil so that those less fortunate than you can have affordable food, 
5. Reducing air borne pollution in urban areas, leading to healthier air and a cleaner environment,
6. Reducing greenhouse gasses by driving globally cool,
7. Insulating yourself from future increases in the price of oil,
8. Pioneering the future,
9. Setting an example,
10. Saving money (compared to the average car using $4 per gallon gasoline, an electric vehicle uses the equivalent of $0.45 per gallon gasoline (assuming $0.10/kWh),
11. Buying a conversation starter … whether it is something to help you get more business, to talk about electric vehicles and why they make sense or just being friendly, the NmG results in friendly acceptance everywhere.  Why go anywhere without it

How many people do you take with you to work or to the grocery?  If you are like 80% of us, you commute to work alone, and probably close to half of your other trips are a solo act as well. Driving an SUV to work is like trying to hang a picture nail in your freshly painted living room with a jack hammer – using the wrong tool for the job. Typically the 60% of households that have two or more vehicles devote one of those cars to just one person’s day-to-day travel.

An efficient single passenger vehicle fits the way most people drive. Plus, people who choose a single-passenger electric vehicle thrive by:

1. Saving time by using the carpool lanes without picking up the carpool
2. Saving time by getting preferential first on-first off privileges on ferries
3. Saving time by using the parking spot your other car can’t fit
4. Saving time by avoiding the gas station.

Stop being a road hog. The NmG gives you the option to be responsible and stop using more road than necessary.

Small size doesn’t limit the value of technology. Remember, the NmG is a sophisticated electronic device, and we all know that tiny cell phones are more expensive than larger ones.

No local dealer yet? No problem. You don’t have to be a mechanic or electrical engineer to maintain your NmG. Myers Motors will consult with mechanics in your area when they need to fix a rare service or warranty issue.

Because it is a blast to drive! We dare you to drive the NmG without smiling! But fun is only half the reason you'll be smiling. The NmG offers drivers a great alternative to wasting time at the gas station, wasting money on gasoline, and wasting the planet by burning an oil product.
Gasoline powered cars are everywhere, but if you are looking for a vehicle that:

1. Is 4X more energy efficient than a Toyota Prius,
2. Drives at highway speeds, 
3. Fits your lifestyle,
4. Saves you time and/or money
5. Protects the environment,
6. Reduces your contribution to our addiction to oil, 
7. Let’s you set a good example to others,  
8. Is fun to drive,
9. Gets noticed,
10. Generates a positive legacy for future generations

-- Then you are looking for an NmG.

Yes. The NmG cabin heats up pretty quickly even in fairly cold weather.

Because the NmG is “fully occupied” with one driver, it can be legally operated in the HOV, or carpool, lanes (in most locations – check your local regulations). Other NmG drivers save time because several ferry routes allow them to be the first on and the first off at the dock. People driving their NmGs around big cities also quickly discover parking for a single person vehicle is much easier to find. And, with its ability to charge up either while you are at work or asleep, our drivers save time by eliminating trips to the gas station.

Having been called the SUV of motorcycles, the three wheeled NmG has obvious stability advantages over a two wheel motorcycle. The occupant of the NmG is enclosed in a layered, composite structure and further protected by using the 3-point shoulder safety harness. It has a steering wheel and foot pedals like a car to be easier to use, although it is not a car and it does not meet car crash standards. The NmG meets or exceeds U.S. DOT safety standards required for motorcycles and three wheelers.

In many States, no.  While most States require motorcycle plates for the NmG, most States do not require a motorcycle license to operate the vehicle … a regular driver's license is usually enough. We have heard of a few local BMVs requiring a motorcycle license, but they allowed the test to be taken in the NmG rather than on a two-wheeled motorcycle. Check with your local BMV to be sure.

The spacious trunk can carry 6 cubic feet - room enough for a full cart of groceries. That's plenty of room for a briefcase, laptop, lunch and gym bag. If making deliveries, that's enough room for a post office bin. Or for shopping, there's enough room for the two new pairs of shoes, new handbag, three sweaters, two skirts, and five pair of jeans you just bought. Actually, there's plenty of room for about 18 large pizzas, 2 bags of chips, and four 2-liter bottles of pop to take to the party; or how about a couple of extra soccer balls for the big game, with room to spare; or – – wait how much stuff do you have?

The NmG has front wheel rack and pinion steering like a car and rear wheel drive like a motorcycle.  What does that mean for snow and winter driving?  Our president drove a lithium NmG all winter and the only day he didn’t drive it was when there was a police warning closing the roads to all traffic.  Like any rear wheel car without traction control, it does require some vigilance when driving in heavy snow conditions and when he tried to accelerate in 4” of snow on the road, it took him about 2X as long to get up to speed as it would have had he been driving his car.  How many times are the roads that bad?  In our area of the country, Ohio, they are good about clearing the roads and if your area is similar, there shouldn’t be a problem if you are already a good snow driver.

One or two people have done that on their own, but Myers Motors cannot recommend this.

Have you ever seen the solar race cars?  Big flat panel devices that help them travel at non-highway speeds.  The area you need to charge the vehicle to make much difference is not available using today’s solar technology and the size of the NmG.

Yes.  Anyone with automotive experience (whether it is you or your mechanic), with some of our instruction, can easily maintain this vehicle.  See the owner's manual for written help, at this link  http://www.myersmotors.com/Manual/Manual.htm.

Batteries are chemical devices.  Chemical reactions slow down in cold and speed up in heat.  The lithium battery pack, when parked overnight in a 43 degree F garage and driving in 16 degree weather got a 40+ mile range … down from 60+ in summer type weather.  Heating pads for the batteries for outdoor parking and/or a heated garage eliminates the problem if you need greater than 40 mile range.

There is a Federal EV tax credit for highway speed plug-in vehicles that have 4 wheels.  If you would like to help promote the use of this tax credit (the only people who can use it today are those who buying a $100,000+ electric sports car) write us at info@myersmotors.com.     

For State help, use this link to determine if there are incentives for your state. http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/fuels/electricity_laws.html.  If no grants or tax incentives are available, you may want to let your elected officials know that you would like to have help with your choice to drive an electric vehicle. If enough people speak up, they may pursue it.

Send an email request to sales@myersmotors.com.  It will be promptly answered within two business days. 

Most new customers commence and complete their transaction with us using email, phone, and fax.  Once we build your 2008 NmG, we ship it directly to your home or office here in the 48 states.  How do we get one started for you?  It’s simply a $10,000 partial payment to move your NmG into the production queue.  Your NmG will be ready for shipment in about 12 weeks, depending upon backlog. We will give you a better estimate at the time of your order.  

Your own local credit union is a great source for financing. Always get me involved with the financing so that your lender becomes familiar with what you are buying for yourself.  Another great source is www.firstagain.com.  They are a lender that will easily write the motorcycle loan for people with excellent and substantial credit.

We love that you are enthusiastic about generating interest for the NmG. You are right that our vehicles receive a great deal of publicity and are noticed everywhere they go. Unfortunately, so many people offer to drive them around for us that it would be a financial loss for us to reduce the price to everyone who offered to drive one for publicity purposes.

Even though we do not offer our own advertising program, you may be able to capitalize on the vehicle’s attention-grabbing quality by contacting advertisements with a third party.

If you have skills and talents you think would be of value, please send in your resume, with pay requirements, which will be held in confidence.  If there is an opening for your particular skill/talent, you will be considered.

At this time Myers Motors is not offering any factory tours.

We are having a hard time keeping vehicles in stock  so your best bet is to buy one or find someone who has one and work a deal out with them.  Some will allow there vehicle to be used for a show for a $500 to $1000 fee.

If there are questions we have not answered, please let us know.  We are trying to keep from killing trees by making information available on our site instead of printing brochures.  If you want sales literature to hand out to people, then please contact us with your thoughts and needs.

Interest and ownership of electric vehicles continues to grow at an amazing pace. Myers Motors plans to develop and maintain a leadership position in this technology revolution. We plan to develop more electric vehicle styles to provide our customers with additional choices. Putting practical, all-electric vehicles in every two-car garage will drastically reduce our dependence on foreign oil and reduce the problems associated with burning that oil. Myers Motors believes electric vehicles have the potential to be the most viable transportation future because electric vehicles:

• charge at an already ubiquitous fueling infrastructure (110 volt and 220 volt outlets);

• have fuel costs cheaper than gasoline or hydrogen will ever be (less than $0.02 per mile);

• provide freedom from our dependence on foreign sources of energy

• already possess a range that meets well over 60% of all personal vehicle daily range requirements (the average person drives less than 30 miles per day; the average trip is less than 10 miles)

• don't pollute, and are fun to drive and to be seen driving.
