The Bolt
We have converted a luxury sport car Mazda RX8 to electric power to prove that an electric car with good performance is technically possible to make. If big car producers do not have one in production it is not because such a technology would not exist, but simply because they either do not want to make it or have other reasons that prevent them to start mass production of EV.
Bolt is now well on the road and drives as any other car. It is also a part of "Solar mobility" project - to be charged by electricity produced by photovoltaics on our roof.

First we had to "make peace" with the car ECU units - some work with diagnostic
equipment was essential
