Electric Longtail Conversion
Year:
2023
Kara Solar and Motores Amazonas are developing sustainable solar power and river transportation infrastructure in the Amazon basin. The goal of the Electric Longtail Conversion project was to quickly convert an existing ICE longtail to electric. Based on the testing results of this conversion, Motores Amazonas developed a custom electric longtail for production. To learn how new electric technology was being adopted in practice, I traveled into the Amazon rainforest to work with indigenous communities.
