30 Setembro 2021 - 9:31AM
ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“ElectraMeccanica”
or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles
revolutionizing the urban driving experience, today announced that
its flagship SOLO EV has been selected as the exclusive vehicle
used in a celebrity race on July 1st, 2022 at the Canadian E-Fest,
a three-day festival that showcases the latest innovations in the
EV space.
The Canadian
E-Fest—which includes various events such as a sustainability
conference, concerts, a variety of fan experiences and a celebrity
race—precedes the 2022 Vancouver E-Prix, an all-electric
international street-racing series culminating in the ABB FIA
Formula E World Championship on July 2, 2022. The celebrity race,
which features several well-known personalities from cinema, music
and professional sports, will compete in ElectraMeccanica’s SOLO EV
– an all-electric, single-seat, three-wheeled electric vehicle that
is revolutionizing the urban driving experience.
“Our participation as
the exclusive vehicle for the celebrity race at the Canadian E-Fest
is a testament to the fun and unique driving experience that our
flagship SOLO EV provides,” said Kevin Pavlov, CEO of
ElectraMeccanica. “Formula E is the premier zero-emissions racing
series globally and our partnership through the Canadian E-Fest
—which is just a short distance from our headquarters in Vancouver,
Canada— is an excellent way to support this purpose-driven, global
initiative towards vehicle electrification.”
ElectraMeccanica began
production of the SOLO EV a year ago with its manufacturing partner
and strategic investor, Zongshen Industrial Group. The initial
production vehicles were primarily used for retail expansion, test
drive events, fleet demonstrations, marketing and final on-road
engineering enhancements. Recently, the Company announced that it
will begin customer deliveries of the SOLO EV beginning October 4,
2021 and steadily increase deliveries to pre-order customers as
production ramps. To pre-order a custom SOLO EV, please click here.
“It will be a fun Friday afternoon when the 12 SOLO EVs hit the
Formula E Vancouver E-Prix circuit driven by 12 celebrities. The
Canadian E-Fest is all about electric mobility and the Celebrity
race fits this theme perfectly,” said Matthew Carter, President of
OSS Group, a promoter for Canadian E-Fest.
