The Aerovironment TurboCord delivers big power in small packages. This cord is the solution to storage and convenience for electric cars. It may be a little ahead of its time but it will certainly become more common in the future. The TurboCord is waterproof and equipped with mini LED lights to show when charging is in progress. The TurboCord is currently retailed at $599.00 and does not require the purchase of expensive charging docks.
Not that anybody's really buying a lot of electric cars yet, but someday they will, maybe, and when they do, technology is going to be a heck of a lot better than it is today. Take that “Emergency Charge Cable” you get with your battery-powered car. Somewhere along its length is a fuse about the size and weight of a big bottle of scotch gift-packaged in a cardboard box. It's bigger than is practical, especially when you wind up all that electrical cord and lay it in the cargo area, so a company called Aerovironment has a solution. A palm-sized solution. It's called the TurboCord. “I was showing it to a guy and he said, 'Where is it?' He was shocked,” said Aerovironment's fast-talking and extremely enthusiastic Wahid Nawabi, senior vice-president of efficient energy systems. “It's a device the size of an iPhone that fits in the palm of your hand!”
