First Electric Corvette C7 Comes From Genovation And Costs $750,000
The team that created the fastest street-legal all-electric vehicle – clocked at 205.6 mph (331 km/h) – is now accepting pre-orders for their upcoming Corvette C7-based model.

The small company took what they’ve learned with the previous model (which wasn’t road-legal), and stuffed it under the C7 Corvette Gran Sport’s skin.
