The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in the 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or for any other subsequent interim period.</font></div>

These circumstances result in substantial doubt as to the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern as noted in Note 10.</font></div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for the basis of accounting, or basis of presentation, used to prepare the financial statements (for example, US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, Other Comprehensive Basis of Accounting, IFRS).No definition available.false0falseBasis of PresentationUnKnownUnKnownUnKnownUnKnowntruefalsefalseSheethttp://echoautomotive.com/role/BasisOfPresentation12
