consumer car-sharing and rental program in North America.

Company developed new exhibit for Center, featuring hands-on

Today ExxonMobil
took another important step in meeting the world’s growing energy needs
by announcing the sponsorship of an all-electric car-sharing and rental
program, called AltCar, at the Maryland
Science Center in Baltimore, MD.
The new electric vehicles at the science center, called the Maya-300,
are powered exclusively by enhanced lithium ion battery technology. They
are one of the first fleets of all-electric vehicles using this
technology in a consumer car-sharing and rental program in North
America. ExxonMobil’s battery separator film enables the use of
Electrovaya’s Lithium Ion SuperPolymer® battery in the vehicle.
Under the program, Baltimore residents and tourists can rent these
vehicles at the science center in the Baltimore Inner Harbor during the
day to drive around the city to experience the feel of an electric
vehicle.
