Electrica

1981-1989

Electrica was a small automotive manufacturer based in Austin, Texas, that operated from 1981 until approximately 1990. The company specialized in electric vehicle conversions, focusing on transforming conventional gasoline-powered cars into electric models.

One of the notable projects undertaken by Electrica was the conversion of the Dodge Omni. This electric version featured a 22 kW motor, which was integrated with the standard four-speed manual transmission of the original vehicle. This conversion aimed to provide an alternative to traditional fuel-powered cars, reflecting the growing interest in electric vehicles during that era.

Although Electrica's production period was relatively short, the company contributed to the early development of electric vehicles in the United States, showcasing the potential for electric powertrains in everyday automobiles.
