Canadian Electric Vehicles

Canadian Electric Vehicles LTD was first established in 1996 in Errington, British Columbia. During the initial years, its focus was to provide designs, parts and technical support for converting conventional internal combustion vehicles to non-polluting battery powered electric vehicles. Once converted, these vehicles were acquired by a variety of purchasers including federal and provincial governments, industrial companies as well as private individuals. The conversions ranged from three wheeled utility vehicles to house boats as well as various full-sized cars and trucks.

History

It wasn't until 1996 that founder and CEO, Randy Holmquist, established it as a corporation and Canadian Electric Vehicles Ltd. was born. Since then, Holmquist and his team of engineers, technicians, and sales personnel have been offering solutions, products, and support to both a wide range of customers.
