“We are very proud of what we have accomplished with the GXE thus far, pushing the limits for electric-powered cars beyond what most people thought was possible. We are excited to enter the next phase and begin offering this extraordinary vehicle to discerning customers,” said Andrew Saul, CEO of Genovation.
The GXE is a C7 Grand Sport Corvette that is re-engineered by Genovation into an all-electric vehicle. The GXE includes a battery management system, inverters, batteries and electric motors that produce in excess of 660-hp and 600 lb-ft of torque.
The car has a range of 130 miles during normal driving operation with a near 50/50 weight distribution and is optimized for a low center of gravity. Genovation has also stated that the GXE will have a unique exterior made from green composites.
Genovation anticipates that the first vehicles will be delivered in Q4 of 2019 after a 2-year design period and 1-year build time.
