| Description: |
Building electric cars started as a hobby for Randy Holmquist, owner of Canadian Electric Vehicles in Errington, just outside of Parksville on Vancouver Island. Since Holmquist converted his own car to electric in the early 1990s, this hobby has developed into a successful business that is helping reduce vehicle emissions around the world.
Canadian Electric Vehicles was established in 1995. During the initial years the focus of Canadian Electric Vehicles was to provide the designs, parts and technical support for converting conventional internal combustion vehicles to non-polluting battery powered electric vehicles. Once converted these vehicles were purchased by federal and provincial governments, industrial companies as well as private individuals. The conversions ranged from three wheeled utility vehicles to a 22’ house boat as well as full-sized cars and trucks.
In 2000 Canadian Electric Vehicles was approached by Los Angeles airport to design and build an electric powered aircraft refueling truck. Since then over 50 Isuzu three ton diesel trucks have been converted to electric power for this application. Customers have included Southwest Airlines (Texas, California), Air BP (Puerto Rico, Dubai, Australia, USA), PLH Aviation (Los Angeles – LAX) and Liquip International (Australia). These vehicles are all still in service with many of them having been upgraded with current technology. This product is ongoing with new trucks shipped to England in 2009. Randy Holmquist, with his staff of technicians and engineers continues to offer contract research and development services for the design and prototyping of electric vehicles for various industrial applications.
