Before the showers arrived on Thursday, New York City was the proverbial steam bath, with temperatures in the 70s, the fog ceiling settling at Midtown’s 20th floor and relative humidity at 100 percent. It was a day to crank the A/C in my 2009 Mercedes-Benz M-Class S.U.V. and hope the battery did not die.
On Thursday morning I drove an M-Class prototype from Amp Electric Vehicles, the Cincinnati-based company that converts select mass-produced passenger vehicles to run entirely on electricity. Based on the 2-wheel-drive 2009 ML350, the S.U.V. was delivered by Steve Burns, the Amp president and co-founder, and Mike Dektas, head of marketing and public relations, to the Times Center.
