our mission
Accelerate the development of high performance electric vehicles.
the second automotive age
Powerful trends – technological, environmental, and geopolitical – will converge to transform the cars we drive on a scale not seen since Henry Ford's Model T in 1908. Dominated today by a handful of slow-moving global giants, hundreds of new entrepreneurial participants will dynamically destroy and then reinvent the auto industry within the next six years. Kriss Motors is one of the new guys.

the electric Cobra open source kit
The iconic 1965 Cobra is an excellent platform for electric vehicle R&D.
To develop the idea, we first built a conventional gas-powered Cobra to analyize all the components and modifications necessary for a high-performance electric version. See the comprehensive Build Manual.
Our Inevitable Electrics white paper outlines the compelling electric Cobra concept.
In 2009, expect the first all-electric Cobra open source kit that will challenge the conventional wisdom with a do-it-yourself high-performance electric vehicle.
