Where car culture meets manufacturing muscle.
Formosa EV lives at the intersection of two worlds: California, the beating heart of EV innovation and classic car culture. Taiwan, a global leader in precision engineering, supply chains, and manufacturing.
Every kit we ship is imagined in garages, tested by racers, and fine-tuned by pros.From early sketches to final bolts, our components honor the hands-on legacy of hot rods — and the rigor of OEM-level production.
Zack Hwang, CEODriven by a natural curiosity and a passion for restoring what others might discard, Zack has always enjoyed fixing and renewing old things. His professional journey includes experience as a power plant and renewable energy engineer, followed by specialization within the Taiwanese electric vehicle supply chain. Zack is dedicated to sustainability and preserving the vibrancy and relevance of American car culture into the 21st century. Whether installing a smart home system or reviving a cherished family item, Zack consistently embraces the spirit of renewal and innovation.
That same mindset drives every Formosa product: Solve the problem. Make it better. Build with care.
Azizi Tucker, CTOWith 20+ years in EV, Azizi’s career spans NASA-grade R&D to racing electric off-roaders in the Himalayas. At Tesla, he helped scale the Model S supply chain from startup chaos to global production. After Tesla, he launched Graft EV — building off-road electric vehicles for the world’s toughest terrains. His work fuses performance, durability, and deep systems thinking.
His philosophy?
Build systems that work anywhere. Make it electric.
Together, Zach and Azizi bring both grit and precision, east and west, restoration culture and electrification engineering.
Formosa EV is the result of that rare partnership — and the ambition to build something that lasts.
At Formosa EV, we believe EV conversion should be more than a trend.It should be a transformation — built with care, engineered for longevity, and designed to empower anyone who’s ever picked up a wrench.

That means:
Instead, we test every system in-house.
We prioritize compatibility, simplicity, and real-world results.
And we release products only when they’re truly ready.
Because we’re not just thinking about your next build.
We’re designing for your entire career of builds.
Formosa means “beautiful island” — the name Portuguese explorers once gave Taiwan.
It’s a tribute to our production roots, but also to our design philosophy:
Whether you’re tinkering solo, restoring classics, or running a full EV conversion shop — you’re building something that lasts.
And we’re building Formosa EV for YOU.
Every component we design, every update we release, every how-to we publish is guided by one principle:
Let's talk. Let's share. Let's build.
