We have proposed to the government – and it supports us – to make 150,000 electric motors of different sizes and to make controllers for them for the entire industry. This is twice as much as the concept of the automotive industry offers. Of course, there will not be such a need for new electric vehicles yet, so we will produce electric kits to replace the old internal combustion engine together with the gearbox with a new electric one for cars already in use,” explains Shcherbakov. of the pilot project.
The cost of replacing an internal combustion engine with an electric motor in the mass production of such electric kits should not exceed a thousand euros.
