Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font

Advanced Mechanical Products, Inc. (AMP) has unveiled its latest all-electric conversion platform, the GM Chevrolet Equinox.

The AMP'd Equinox is a converted or up-fitted GM Chevrolet Equinox that is a 100% electric, clean conversion, American-made vehicle. The vehicle will reach a top speed of 90 miles an hour, and will go from zero to 60 miles per hour in approximately eight seconds, with a charge voltage of either 110V or 220V. And with pricing expected to be below $50,000, after government incentives, the Company believes the AMP'd Equinox is also quite affordable.

The AMP'd Equinox, utilizing high efficiency Remy motors, will travel up to 150 miles on a single charge, which compares favorably to the Nissan Leaf which will travel up to 100 miles on a charge.

The cost of the conversion?  Around $50,000 before tax credits.
