ATLANTA, GA (January 7, 2010) – WHEEGO ELECTRIC CARS, – manufacturer of all-electric street legal LSVs (Low Speed Vehicles), today announced that the Wheego Whip continues to qualify for the 50% Oklahoma State Tax Credit.
AMPCONTROL, Inc of Piedmont, Oklahoma is the exclusive Wheego dealer throughout the state of Oklahoma. Ryan Deatherage, President of AMPCONTROL, says Oklahomans have been enthusiastic drivers of the Wheego Whip. “We have had a huge response to the all-electric Wheego Whip. In December, we hosted test drive events in Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Altus and Sayre, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Everyone gets in the Wheego and says, ‘wow, this is a real car.’ Sales have been very strong, with many new customers coming from friends and neighbors of our original drivers.” Representatives of Oklahoma businesses and universities who would like to host a test drive event at their location are invited to contact Ryan Deatherage at 405-373-0990.
Currently, the Wheego Whip LSV qualifies for both the Oklahoma State Tax Credit of 50% of the price of the Electric Vehicle, and the 10% Federal Tax Credit in 2010 for LSVs. After Federal and State Tax Credits, the $18,995 (MSRP) Wheego Whip can be purchased by Oklahomans for under $7600, plus applicable taxes and delivery fees.
The initial Wheego offering is the Whip, available now. The Whip is an all-electric LSV which can drive on roads with posted speed limits of 35 miles per hour or less in Oklahoma. The Wheego highway-speed all-electric car is expected in Summer of 2010. The Wheego Whip is a fully-loaded two-seat compact car with fit, finish and features that compete with any other subcompact car on the market. Features include remote keyless entry, air conditioning, and MP3 stereo system. The all-electric Wheego Whip runs on sealed lead-acid batteries and can be charged from a standard household outlet.
