1964 Electrovair I Concept
Written by Bill Bowman
It was no surprise that the Corvair was selected by General Motors for its early electrical vehicle design exercises. The 1964 Electrovair I concept was based on an early model 1964 Monza sedan. It was the lightest GM production car available, and its rear drive was ideal for a compact and simple motor installation.
The problems encountered in Electrovair I suggested many basic improvements had to be made to the electric drive system and control system. Soon it became apparent that building an entire new car would be easier than upgrading the Electrovair I. Thus the decision was made to build Electrovair II starting with a 1966 Corvair Monza Sport Sedan.
