STRATFORD, P.E.I. — At first glance, it would appear you are looking at a small pickup truck or a minivan with the back of the roof removed.
“We are producing electric vehicles, EVs, that are twice as green as other EVs because we are using used cars,” he said. “In Brazil, we have a lot of these small pickup trucks. I realized I could convert Toyota Corollas, which is a very common car here and a very reliable car,” said Antonini. Most light pickup trucks can hold about 700 kilograms — not a huge difference, especially considering the cost of transportation, said Antonini.
“We are working to produce from five to 10 cars and lend them to some customers to test them and help us to finish the development,” said Antonini. “In the middle of next year, we intend to start the production of 100 cars.”
