Company Summary

Until now, starting a new car company and getting to profitability has not been possible.

Now, like the Model T of old - and based on 300 EVs of experience and an experienced team - we can build a mass market affordable e-car that's practical as a 2nd car for commuting & around-town driving. It will also end congestion.

We will build & sell these built-to-order "no haggle" e-cars from local micro-factories; profitable at 3,000 cars per year

Team

  • Dana Myers
    Founder and CEO

    Proved the technology and market acceptance of shorter-range, limited seat electric vehicles at Myers Motors LLC, where the team he put together built, sold and serviced 3-wheel "proxies" for 4-wheel electric cars

    Prior, was CEO of S. D. Myers. for 15 years - started two divisions from scratch, got to profits, and sold them to public companies (one to a Fortune 5). Won both an EOY Entrepreneur of the Year Award + NAFTA claim (& got paid!)

  • Gabriel Iosif
    Chief Engineer

    Project manager (mostly) who engineered and built 21 different electric vehicles cars in 24 years for several companies in Europe (where low volume vehicle manufacturing is encouraged). Whole vehicle experience is hard to find in the USA. Whole vehicle experience with EVs is even harder. He has both.

    Has 30 vehicle projects under his belt: buses, cars, city cars, trucks, race cars and more.

  • Richard Clester
    Lean Manufacturing

    His value will be to take all that he learned on our 3-wheel EVs and work with Gabriel, our engineer, so that we have an extremely easy to build and maintain electric car. He is excellent at driving time and cost savings

    On the patent for a low cost lithium battery management system that enabled us, at that time, to have what one Department of Energy manager said was "the lowest lithium battery system I've ever seen."
