A few years ago, Tom Hanks was pushing this company and then it suddenly just went poof. After an appearance on Letterman, a couple of videos on his Myspace page, and a few guest spots in newspapers and magazines, AC Propulsion and Tom Hank’s promotion of it suddenly disappeared.
Now, a couple of years later, they’re back. In the mean-time, apparently, AC Propulsion has been busy in the background with companies like Tesla (Roadster) and BMW (Mini E).
The company has a new facility in San Dimas, California–home of Bill and Ted–and is now promoting their electric car conversions. Specifically of the Scion from Toyota. For a mere $55,000, you can take your $15,000 Scion and have it made into an all-electric with a 100+ mile range per charge. The price does not include lifetime slurpies at the Circle K. Strange things are afoot. Check out the video:
