Zilla production to resume: Otmar joins EV Components.

...We are pleased to announce that Café Electric and EV Components are teaming up to produce the Zilla line of controllers. We are setting up production and testing over the next 6 weeks and expect the first deliveries by early November.

Otmar Ebenhoech is joining James Morrison (CEO) and Dave Kois (COO) as owners of EV Components. Otmar is supervising the training of the staff at EV Components and verifying that the high quality of the Zilla controllers is maintained. Once the staff at EV Components has Zilla production running to Otmar’s satisfaction, then he will be able to focus his time and energy on new R&D projects.

EV Components will be producing the Zilla 1K and 2K in HV and EHV voltage ratings in the first production run. After the initial orders are satisfied, we will also be offering the more economical Zilla 1K-LV. Prices will remain the same as previously offered by Café Electric.

If you are already on the Café Electric waiting list you will have the first opportunity to place your order . Beginning today, those who are already on the waiting list will have a 14 day window to confirm their position with a $500 deposit. After 14 days all new orders will be prioritized in the order that your deposit arrives.

If you would like to order now, but are not on the waiting list, you can place your order through our website. To insure fairness to those who have been waiting your controller will be produced after those early waiting list orders are completed.

We have decided to require a $500 deposit in order to help determine firm demand so that we can properly scale our staff, equipment and materials for production. We are tentatively planning staff and equipment to support higher production levels than previously maintained by Cafe Electric. Our goal is to have production to the point where nobody has to wait for a controller. We hope to have controllers in stock on the shelf ready to ship in the not too distant future.

Thank you for your patience during this transition period. We look forward to bringing the Zilla line of controllers back to you as soon as possible.
