Lang Motors Corporate and Environmental Social Responsibilityby

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects the bottom line for businesses in British Columbia, and across Canada. Lang Motors is a company that sees the value in embracing ethical business practices. In fact, a recent Ipsos-Reid poll indicated that 75% of British Columbians consciously have made the decision to purchase a product or service from a company because they felt it did business in a socially responsible way. Lang Motors strives to surpass our expectations of what we consider CSR is today. No longer is philanthropy or sponsorship enough to qualify as CSR today. We’re looking for true leaders who are taking risks in their communities and influencing lasting change. Our values permeate our business. Every choice we make from financial institution to delivery to staffing is weighed carefully against our values. Corporate and Environmental Social Responsibility (CESR) is our commitment to operating in an economically and environmentally sustainable manner while recognizing the interests of our communities, customers, and employees.

Home Recharging - Changing the Status Quo

Studies done in 1996 by the University of California indicate that households place a high value on avoiding retail fuelling stations. Prior studies have documented a dislike of gasoline stations. This suggests that home recharging is the highest valued attribute of the Electric Vehicle.

What are the benefits of Home Recharging?

• No more waiting in line at the gas station

• No need to visit battery exchange stations
• No more snack temptation at the gas station
• No more smelly gas hands
• No more checking the oil
• More time for you

Driving Range: Any disutility of reduced driving range in one household vehicle is small for most mutli-car households. Any household that can adapt to any reduced range adapts to a range of 240 km or less.

Emissions: Research should focus less on new batteries that provide a longer range (i.e. higher specific energy and energy density), and more on improved battery cycle life, energy management and manufacturing costs.

A major personal goal is to bring awareness concerning the most valued attribute of the Electric Vehicle - Home Charging.

Since 2005, Lang Motors Ltd. has been developing an Electric Vehicle dealership first in Vancouver, and across Canada.

Our goal is more than being a company selling cars – It’s about helping drivers make healthy commute choices.
