Mode of production

Toyota Corolla is converted to an electric car by removing internal combustion engine and all related parts, replacing them with top-of-the-line electric vehicle technology and lithium batteries. Cars will be produced in series by creating a modular installation kit which allows quick replacement of the ICE technology.
