= Genovation Cars = Genovation Cars is a Maryland, USA based manufacturer of electric supercars and the current Guinness World Records holder of the certified fastest, street legal, electric car in the standing mile. The prototype record-breaking Genovation GXE model debuted in 2016 and is based on a 2006 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 platform. The vehicle is powered by a 700hp all-electric, twin-motor powertrain, producing 570ft.lbs of torque, and reached a maximum recorded top speed of 209mph, certified by the International Mile Racing Association (IMRA).

Next Generation GXE
In 2019 the company will begin production on a limited edition of 75 units of the GXE based on the latest model Corvette Grand Sport. The GXE is priced at $750,00. In October 2017, Genovation CEO Andrew Saul announced strategic partnerships with Michigan based Prefix Corporation to oversee engineering integration, prototyping and production planning while Stafl Systems of California develops electrical systems, battery pack integration, powertrain refinement and performance. The car will be powered by a powertrain developing greater than 800hp, 700ft.lbs of torque and a projected top speed of 220mph. The pre-production GXE was unveiled to the public at the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Company History
Genovation Cars was founded in 2010 by American businessman Andrew Saul. In 2010, Saul, along with co-founders Steven Rogers and Robert Irby, led a team of engineers to develop the prototype GXE.

World Speed Records
In February 2017, engineers took the prototype GXE to Space Florida’s Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida where the vehicle piloted by Bohmer set IMRA certified records of 209mph top speed and 190.48mph in the standing mile. Speed was measured by IMRA and certified as the fastest measured for a street legal all-electric vehicle.

Earlier, on July 28, 2016, the GXE set a high speed record of 205.6mph and a standing mile record of 189.481, both certified by IMRA. The Guinness World Records organization recognized this as a new category for all-electric vehicles and awarded a World Record Certificate.

Powertrain and Battery
Early in the GXE powertrain development, Genovation engineers decided on a single shaft, dual-stack (two motor) electric powertrain paired with inverters that could power the twin motor to maximum torque at an RPM the Corvette manual transmission components could tolerate. The engineering team then designed a battery pack capable of providing enough voltage and current to meet the 250kW of power to each inverter simultaneously. Custom software and algorithms were developed to manage the power, and push the performance beyond the specifications of the components.
