Not gone, down but not (yet) out.



Sorry to see them go, now we just need to buy the grid tie inverter, the offshoot of the business that uses some of the same boards.

It is a reorganization not a liquidation - all the big car companies are doing it these days.  Hopefully they'll be back better than ever.  Chapter 15 is for foreign companies - basically to have the US courts recognize the decisions of the Canadian court.

Still it would be better if they were profitable.

Kelly has an AC controller but currently is limited to 72 volts.  Send them an email as suggest they make higher voltage ones.
There are others available but I don't have the info at hand.

Wow!

I thought Azure Dynamics had a deal with Ford to build the small EV van... How could they not have enough business?

They were the only A/C controller you could actually just go out and buy. Being that A/C Propulsion will only sell bulk controllers and with batteries, as I understand.

There's also a line of AC controllers from SEVCON but I don't know how an individual would be able to buy one.
