Front Page San Jose Mercury Business Section News mention for Valence Today: Saturday, February 16, 2008 OEMtek Uses Valence Batteries for 100 MPG Prius Conversion kirklindstrom.blogspot.com For $12,500, OEMtek says it can add a bigger battery pack to your Prius and double its mileage - to 100 mpg or more. Batteries come from Valence Technology, a Texas company that says 80 companies have tested or used its batteries. Chairman Carl Berg is a Silicon Valley investor and real-estate developer. He's been doing test loops of the OEMtek cars from his Mission West Properties offices in Cupertino, averaging 89.81 mpg. Valence recently announced a $70 million deal to sell batteries to the Tanfield Group, a British company that makes Smith Electric Vehicles vans and trucks. "We think this can be a very major business," Berg said of the OEMtek BREEZ. "We believe there can be 100,000 people or more easily that will buy this add-on to their Prius." I did some research on OEMtech... a 6 person company here in the Silicon Valley. Maybe we will move Detroit to here!
