Electroengine converts Volvo C70 into an all-electric powerhouse

A mean machine Volvo C70 just got green, finding an electric engine in its belly, placed there by Electroengine. The converted Volvo is now a lot more than an aggressive car, doing its bit to keep the gasses out of the atmosphere. With an all-wheel drive, the car’s speedometer needle reaches the 62mph mark in a meager six seconds. That’s quick enough to have your adrenaline rush up to some pretty appreciable levels. It also makes the car over a second and half quicker than the 2011 model with a turbo 2.5 liter, though carrying an additional weight load of 300 kg (661 lbs). Packed with 56 kWh lithium batteries that give a driving range of 200 miles, this converted Volvo C70 might just have the automaker think of turning the model into an all electric!

Electroengine have in the past converted a ZE Saab 9-3 and a 27 foot Nimbus boat electric, and the Volvo C70 joins the list. Great work Electroengine!
