Easy, Turnkey Service
We make the conversion process very easy for you. If you already own the vehicle that you wish to convert, we offer you a complete turnkey service.
The experienced and highly trained engineers and mechanics at EVX Laboratories will remove the current inefficient internal combustion engine in your existing vehicle and replace it with the latest state of the art electric drive train and lithium-ion battery cell energy storage system. You will enjoy the benefits of an electric car while maintaining the prestige of keeping the existing vehicle that you love.
The Upgrade Process
The upgrade process is as easy 1-2-3. Here are the steps we follow:
 Removal of existing internal combustion engine, exhaust system, and fuel system.
 Deployment of the new electric drive train.
 Installation of the lithium-ion battery cell energy storage system.
 Extensive testing.
 Delivery of your vehicle.
And that's it! Contact us today to place your order!
The Advantages That Make A Difference
The goal of electric vehicles is to reduce air emissions associated with typical internal combustion vehicles (ICVs), thereby decreasing the emission of environmentally damaging products such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides.
Electric cars are 100% emission-free, having no polluting byproducts, therefore they are cleaner than hybrid automobiles. They secure their power from batteries, the sun or hydrogen fuel cells. Battery-powered electric cars, besides being cleaner, are more fuel-efficient, get better mileage and have less moving parts to wear out.
Eliminate The Gas Pump, Go Electric
If you were to compare battery powered vehicles to gasoline guzzlers, electricity would win hands down. As proven in 2007 by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI), they calculated that powering a plug-in vehicle, better known as a electric vehicle, would cost the equivalent of roughly 75 cents per gallon of gasoline. Prices as these have not been seen at the pump for over 30 years.
These calculations were made using an average cost of electricity of 8.5 cents per kilowatt hour and the estimated distance the car would travel on one charge, versus a car that gets 25 miles per gallon and is powered by $3 per gallon of gasoline. By utilizing a simple power outlet, we can eliminate our dependency at the gas pump. Again, electricity would win hands down.

Greatly Reduced Maintenance And Repairs.
A gasoline engine has thousands of rotating parts. In that complex symphony of movement, things often break. Electric motors are much simpler, not to mention no quarterly oil changes.
Electric cars are different than gas powered cars because they have an efficient electric motor that drives the wheels and extracts energy from the car’s motion when it slows down. In contrast, internal-combustion cars have a constant running engine whose power is driven through a series of gears and clutches to drive the wheels and to turn the generator. Additionally, electric cars are more efficient because the electric motor is connected to the wheels, thus it consumes no energy while the car is at rest or coasting, which increases the potential energy by roughly one-fifth. Fewer moving parts mean fewer things that can go wrong.
While the motor converts more than 90% of the energy in its storage cells to motive force, the internal combustion drives utilize less than 25% of the energy in a liter of gasoline.
Electric Vehicle Tax Credit?
Starting January 1, 2009, there is a new tax credit for Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, starting at $2,500 and capped at $7,500 for cars and trucks (the credit is based on the capacity of the battery system). The first 250,000 vehicles sold get the full tax credit (then it phases out like the hybrid vehicle tax credits).
Tax credits are available to buyers of hybrid gasoline-electric, diesel, battery-electric, alternative fuel, and fuel cell vehicles. The tax credit amount is based on a formula determined by vehicle weight, technology, and fuel economy compared to base year models. These credits are available for vehicles placed in service starting January 1, 2006. For hybrid and diesel vehicles made by each manufacturer, the credit will be phased out over 15 months starting after that manufacturer has sold 60,000 eligible vehicles. For vehicles made by manufacturers that have not reached the end of the phase-out, the credits will end for vehicles placed in service after December 31, 2010.

What Is "Zero Emissions"?
Zero emission refers to an engine, motor, or other energy source, that emits no waste products that pollutes the environment or disrupts the climate. According to California's Air Resources Board (CARB), a "Zero-emissions vehicle" is a vehicle that has NO:
 Tailpipe emissions
 Evaporative emissions
 Onboard emission-control systems that can deteriorate over time
 Emissions from gasoline refining or sales
Vehicles and other mobile machinery used for transport and for other uses contribute heavily to climate change and pollution. To say the least, zero emission engines should be a top priority. This technology includes an electric engine powered by an energy source compact enough to be installed in the vehicle such as our electrical batteries.
How Much Will Electric Drivetrain Integration Cost?
It is less expensive than you might think. Currently the complete Smart Car turnkey upgrade is priced starting at $24,900. Alternatively, you may wish to finance your upgrade and make payments or use our lease per mile program. We can make these arrangements for you.
With all of the proven benefits and thorough testing, your vehicle will be practically brand new. Get in Contact with our team today to see how we can change your vehicle into the car you've always wanted.
