The latest news about Optimal Energy, Joule - The electric car

Refined all-electric Joule debuts at the International Motor Show in Geneva

without a special engine, as manufacturers are proving. 

The Prius is the only green car available in SA but it will soon have competition. Cape Town company Optimal Energy introduced its electric car, the Joule, in 2009 and according to its website it intends to start mass production in 2013.

We know that not everybody can and will be able to get their very own Joule, but while you wait you can still aim to be a greener motorist. You can cut the greenhouse gases you produce while driving by taking simple steps that needn’t be drastic but will surely be effective.

Carte Blanche came knocking on the doors of Optimal Energy, and almost a year after their initial report on Optimal Energy we welcomed them into our offices.

We have received countless questions and comments about the Joule. Many have queried how eco-friendly Joule really is and we have done our best to provide you will all the answers. Which is why this month we’ll be taking a closer look at how eco-friendly all electric drives such as the Joule really are.
