R-Electric Car Co., Global Electric Corp., and Solium Power Corp. -
emerging leaders in the development and marketing of Lithium-
powered products worldwide, are proud to announce that the
Company's flagship Lithium vehicle, the R-Car, as well as the Jin
Bike and the market ready e-Cobra Urban Vehicle were heavily
featured in this week's Toronto Star newspaper, Canada's largest
and most read newspaper, November 13th, 2004 with circulation of
over 2.6 million readers weekly The article can be read by clicking
here: http://www.whistlerinvestments.com/star One of Canada's top
automotive journalists, Gerry Malloy of the Toronto Star, reviewed
the vehicles at Whistler's state of the art development facility in
Van Nuys, California. Mr. Malloy met with Chaz Haba and Whistler
Investments executives in order to fully understand the technology
as well as the production plans for the Company's latest products.
The following are summary quotes from the aforementioned article:
"Battery powered EV's (Electric Vehicles) have tended to be heavy
and slow, with limited operating range and too-long recharge times
... Lithium ion batteries ... address many of the battery
limitations." "The secret to making them suitable for automotive
power supplies is in the way the individual cells are matched and
connected with each other ... and that is proprietary information
... " "A high-wheeled electric scooter called the e-Cobra, which is
already on the market, can typically be recharged in two hours
after two hours of use ... " "To demonstrate the feasibility of
green energy, Lithium House is converting a neighboring house to
operate totally off-grid, charging Lithium ion battery banks with
solar cells during the day, to provide a stored energy bank for use
whenever needed. "Whistler Investments, a public, US-based
investment company with strong Canadian connections among investors
and management, funds Lithium House in return for marketing rights
to its developments. Through a subsidiary company, Whistler is also
building an off-grid demonstration project in Alberta." "A Chrysler
PT Cruiser EV was nearly complete when I visited, and a Mini EV was
also under construction. The latter was a commissioned project,
which has since been delivered to the client - the British Embassy
in Mexico City." "These vehicles ... were selected ...
demonstrating that EV's don't have to be dull." "The next stage
will be to get first-stage production vehicles in the hands of
customers ... The process is already underway on the motorcycle
side, with the market introduction of the e-Cobra." Neil Anderson,
Strategic Relations Consultant for Whistler Investments stated,
"With the automotive critics and experts both in North America and
across the globe seeing our technology in action we have been
highly successful at winning over even the hard-line combustion
engine advocates. And as Mr. Malloy so eloquently stated in his
closing comments, 'perhaps the battery isn't dead'." Holly
Roseberry, President of Whistler Investments stated, "Whistler's
philosophy to create a standard in Lithium-powered vehicles -
integrating the latest in zero emission technology, ergonomic
design and consumer appeal - one that also meets or exceeds the
expectations of automobile experts throughout the world, has in my
opinion been met. Our engineering team, headed by Chaz Haba, now
stands ready to exceed the standard. We are pleased and honored to
see that our popular R-Car has been selected for such positive
press. Our 'First and Best in Market' approach is clearly a model
that gives our Company a significant advantage over our
competition. "With the upcoming Orange County Chopper for the
California Highway patrol as well as several other high profile
international government projects, we anticipate that our global
exposure will be even greater than it has been to date." Mrs.
Roseberry also stated, "We are proud of our development and
engineering teams as they have created a vehicle that impresses
even the toughest critics of zero emission vehicles, thus giving
our technology a wonderful opportunity to easily become identified
as the best in this rapidly growing market." Whistler Investments
(WHIS) has recently been featured on ESPN 2 and is scheduled for
