The EV Project Continues to Roll Out

eTec's Don Karner to Discuss Future of Transportation at EDTA Capitol Hill Panel
Phoenix – Tuesday, April 20, 2010 – ECOtality, Inc. (OTCBB: ETLE ), a leader in clean electric transportation and storage technologies, announced today that Don Karner, President and CEO of its wholly-owned subsidiary, eTec (Electric Transportation Engineering Corporation) will participate in a panel discussion of electric vehicles and advanced transportation in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday, April 21, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. The panel is part of the Electric Drive Transportation Association’s (EDTA) Capitol Hill Briefing entitled, “Electric Drive Turning Points: Changing a Century of Transportation in 10 Years.”
Karner will present the latest information regarding The EV Project , the largest-ever rollout of electric vehicle infrastructure. In August 2009, ECOtality’s eTec was awarded a federal stimulus grant of nearly $100 million from the U.S. Department of Energy. The grant is funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) with the goal of creating thousands of new jobs, preserving existing jobs, and jump-starting the economy. With a match from partners, The EV Project has a total value of more than $200 million, and will support electric vehicles with residential, commercial and public chargers in major markets in five states: Arizona (Phoenix & Tucson metropolitan areas), Washington (Seattle area), Oregon (Portland, Salem, Corvallis and Eugene), California (San Diego) and Tennessee (Knoxville, Chattanooga and Memphis).
The EV Project has made significant progress since its debut; Karner’s presentation will give an overview as well as provide a roadmap for how this groundbreaking project will deploy over the next six months.
