Placing an Order

We have a waiting list. Check in with us to see when the next build opening will occur. Once you place your reservation, currently there’s a wait of about 20 months until your project build begins. Then once your vehicle lands in our shop, we’ll usually spend a minimum of 3-5 months transforming it. Safety is our main concern. Every detail is checked and rechecked. Nothing leaves our shop until it’s perfect.

But some projects can take longer, depending on the number and type of retrofit modifications you select. If your order includes our recommending and finding a car for you, time required will naturally depend on how rare that car is. 
 
The process of having your Zelectric retrofit built starts with a conversation via phone, email or in-person. Whether this involves a car you currently own or having us help find your perfect candidate, we'll review the steps involved. We’ll identify an optimum configuration for your future vehicle, cover the basics and discuss additional upgrades or customizations that best meet your needs. When you’re ready, get in touch. Email bonnie@zelectricmotors.com.

What's the payment schedule?
A nonrefundable $5,000 reservation deposit secures your place on our Zelectric production calendar. 50% of the total project is due when scheduled project work begins. This allows us to order and line up specific parts required to begin the build. If your purchase of a vehicle is involved, payment is made separately, to the seller.

If I order a Zelectric retrofit, how long until delivery?
We will estimate a start date for your project to begin based on the current waiting list. The timetable varies. Delivery will occur generally no more than 4-5 months after work on your retrofit begins. Sometimes less. 

After my production order and initial payment, how will I track progress on the car?
Once your vehicle retrofit begins, you will be updated with photos as work progresses.Your vehicle will be built strictly according to your original working agreement's build sheet. If at some point along the way you decide to extend the scope of the original project with additional options, billing will occur in advance for any pre-approved labor and/or material costs exceeding the initial project estimate.
