Vancouver, BC, March 15, 2023--(T-Net)--ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles revolutionizing the urban driving experience, and Volcon Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN), an all-electric, off-road powersports company, today jointly announced that Volcon's manufacturing partner, GLV, has chosen ElectraMeccanica's state-of-the-art, recently commissioned, 235,000-square-foot HQ facility in Mesa, AZ for final assembly of Volcon's next generation Grunt EVO and Runt fat-tired electric motorcycles.
"Our move is a significant milestone for us as we strive to bring manufacturing back to the United States, speed up the launch of our vehicles, and attempt to establish first-mover advantage in the electrification of the off-road powersports industry," said Jordan Davis, CEO of Volcon ePowersports. "Additionally, we're continuing to speed up our development and go-to-market process by adding this arrangement to our many key component suppliers such as BF Goodrich, Gates and several other key component providers."
Susan Docherty, CEO and Interim COO, ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp.
Susan E. Docherty, ElectraMeccanica CEO, stated: "Volcon's an absolutely terrific fit for our Mesa facility, which has one of the best lean-assembly teams in the business. When we commissioned our Mesa HQ in December 2022, we said one of our primary goals was not only to assemble our own unique designs there, but also to help fellow native-EV manufacturers achieve their own go-to-market goals by leveraging our expertise and resources. I'm very proud to be able to contribute to Volcon's success, and to use our plant to help grow the EV market overall."
About Volcon, Inc.
Based in the Austin, Texas area, Volcon was founded as the first all-electric powersports company producing high-quality and sustainable electric vehicles for the outdoor community. Volcon electric vehicles are the future of off-roading, not only because of their environmental benefits, but also because of their near silent operation, which allows for a more immersive outdoor experience.
Volcon's 2023 vehicle roadmap includes both motorcycles and UTVs hitting the market in North America. Its first product, the innovative Grunt, has been shipping to customers since late 2021 and combines a fat-tired physique with high-torque electric power and a near-silent drive train. The Runt, which is a fun-sized version of the groundbreaking Grunt, is better suited for small statured riders, more compact properties and trails, or as a pit bike at race events, while still delivering robust off-road capabilities.
