EV-Aichi convert regular petrol powered cars into electric vehicles. This vehicle has had its engine, radiator and entire exhaust system including the muffler removed, and replaced with a controller, battery and motor, transforming it into an entirely electric vehicle that produces no exhaust emissions.
"We became a company in August of 2011, and we started doing conversions from the beginning of the year. Currently there are some electric vehicles capable of a cruising range of hundreds of kilometers, but we feel that the biggest advantage offered by an electric vehicle is using it as a second car or as a commercial vehicle that is only being driven about 40 to 50 kilometers a day in city driving, because this offers great benefits in terms of costs and also increasing environmental awareness."
EV-Aichi is building electric vehicles that support 100 V or 200 V charging. The vehicle on display requires 200 V, so for use in Japan it will require an adapter, but it means that the vehicles can be charged easily from a home power outlet.
"We are receiving an extremely large number of orders. We currently have a waiting list, but starting next year we would like to be in a position to convert more of our customers' valued vehicles."
EV-Aichi has set a goal for next year of being able to do at least 50 electric vehicle conversions.
