Electrogenic: kits for electrical modernization

These electrical equipment modernization kits consist of an electric motor that replaces the original heat engine, an electric battery, and all the devices that allow you to control and charge, and a software calculator that allows you to work as a whole. Depending on the kits, the original gearbox is kept or removed.

In addition, the digital dashboard allows you to monitor the status of the system and the electric motor, and also allows you to configure its settings or select driving modes (Eco, Sport or City). A braking energy recovery system to recharge the battery also completes the kit.

Upgrading is so far limited only to old models, as their very high price does not allow everyone to convert their car to electric. It is to overcome these obstacles that the Government is launching a large-scale consultation plan… https://t.co/ONIGPkXGj2
