Could Mooresville change from Race City to Motor City? Mooresville’s very own car manufacturer, Li-ion Motors says that they are taking deposits on two models of all-electric cars that they will produce here. Li-ion recently won a large piece of the $10 million Automotive X Prize for meeting all of the requirements put before them by the competition organizers, beating many other entries from around the world. Check out previous posts on these cars by using the search term “x prize” in the search field to the right. 
They’ll be selling two models, a high-end sports car and a more modestly priced two-seater. Lets hope this is just the beginning of a growing manufacturing and sales business here in Mooresville and Iredell County.
HERE is their full press release. HERE is a Forbes article on Li-ion’s showing at the Detroit Auto Show.
