Our mission
ecowhizz was founded to create a knowledge basis for ecological mobility. Our focus is on electric vehicles, in particular production vehicles which are available on the market today. We want to show that it is possible to maintain individual mobility while significantly reducing its environmental impact.
Benjamin, the founder of ecowhizz, has been following the area of electric vehicles and renewable energies for more than a decade. His initial motivation for studying Mechanical and then Aerospace Engineering was to build a motor that "runs on water" (or comes close to it in terms of emissions).
After taking an in-depth look at fuel cell technology - which is derived from Aerospace technology and which by many accounts comes closest to this concept - he decided it would be a much better idea to focus on electric vehicles (EVs) instead, at the very least for the next 10-20 years.
The technology required to put sustainable personal transport into practice is in many cases already available today, but the knowledge about EVs is not widely diffused. Thus the idea to create a platform for potential buyers of EVs, who want to improve their impact on the environment.
If you have comments on this website, including any kind of constructive criticiscm or new ideas, we look forward to reading about it at feedback@ecowhizz.com

We spotted it on Earth Day at Google Headquartes in Mountain View, CA. Google are using a range of EVs for transportation and experimentation purposes on their campus. |  |
