What it is
A retrofit hybrid system (RHS) is a bolt-on electric propulsion system that turns a conventional car into a plug-in hybrid.
They charge from an EV charger or standard outlet and provide up to 45 miles of electric range, enough for typical daily driving. For longer trips or heavy duty applications like towing, the vehicle’s engine can be used.
Why it’s special
Our proprietary OmniDrive technology* incorporates an adaptable architecture and leverages common vehicle interfaces. This renders our solution vehicle-agnostic.
Custom engineering is not required for any specific vehicle, enabling mass-production, economies of scale, and third party installation in about a day.
*Patent Pending
Narwhal
The Narwhal is for vehicles with a solid rear axle and delivers power through the driveshaft. The safe and cobalt-free LFP battery pack can be placed in the cargo area or on a trailer hitch.
Humpback
The Humpback is for essentially all other vehicles and delivers power directly to the rear wheels.
Electric Range: 30-45 miles
Power: up to 200 hp
Braking: regenerative
Battery type: lithium iron phosphate (LFP)
Charging: Level 2 J1772. 110V charger provided.
Engagement/disengagement: Electronic shift-on-the-fly
Specifications
Optional features*
*some features may not be available at launch
Generator mode: use the engine to turn your RHS into a generator. Perfect for work sites, power outages, and escaping to the country.
Cabin heater: provides electric heat to your vehicle’s climate control system
Anti-sag: negates most of the system weight to eliminate suspension sag
Electric engine accessories: for vehicles that require it, electric power steering, brake, and transmission oil pumps will enable idle-free operation
Prototypes
Our prototypes have been driving around in the real world, demonstrating feasibility, practicality, usability, range and performance.
Range extender: we are in the early stages of development of a range-extending generator platform that will provide EVs with all the freedom we’ve come to expect from our cars, and enable smaller battery packs. It will be modular, compact, easy to transfer from vehicle-to-vehicle, and effortless to maneuver.
