SPRINGFIELD, Mo., Apr 26, 2010 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) — Electric Car Company, Inc. (OTCBB:ELCR), a vehicle conversion Company that specializes in electric conversions and manufacturing for the Livery and Fleet Markets, today announces that for the first three months ended March 31st, 2010 the Company reports $584,000.00 in signed purchase orders. This represents a total of 13 vehicles being manufactured or converted into specialty vehicles.
Estimated sales reported in the first three months of 2010 represent more than half of the entire revenues generated in 2009. It is important to note that actual revenue to be realized by the Company is dependent on delivery of the vehicles and may not be reported as revenue during the first quarter. It is expected that all vehicles will be completed and delivered by the second quarter of 2010.

In the 10-K recently released for year ended December 31st, 2009, the Company reported total revenues of $1,144,000.00 with a net loss from continuing operations of $1,911,499.00. Losses are attributed to high start up costs as well as a softening of the credit available in the automobile market.

The Electric Car Company (ECC) reports that approximately 50% of orders in the first quarter consisted of buses to be converted into specialty “Party Buses” commonly used for special events such as weddings and sporting events. The balance of production consists of standard limousines manufactured from Cadillac Escalades, Ford Navigators and Hummers.

Among the limousines being manufactured are 2 “Pink” super stretch limousines. ECC has committed to make a contribution to the Breast Cancer Foundation of the Ozarks, (www.bcfo.org), for every pink limousine sold. This was made mention of in a previous press release dated November 6th announcing the Company’s attendance at the Limo Digest Show held in Atlantic City, NJ.

Management would like to inform the public that the Company has maintained its QVM Program qualification requirements with Ford Motors. This qualifies ECC to be eligible for Ford’s new 4-year, 150 thousand mile warranty, only available to qualified QVM builders.

Mr. Gary Spaniak, CEO of Electric Car Company, Inc., stated, “In light of a tough last year and other contributing factors, I think we did very well.” Mr. Spaniak continued by stating, “We are very excited about how this year has started and the Company has many exciting prospects for the future.”
