ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp. (NASDAQ: SOLO) (“ElectraMeccanica”
or the "Company"), a designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles
revolutionizing the urban driving experience, would like to correct
its prior statement of February 23, 2022, to clarify that the party
that is in advanced discussions with the Company on a potential
order for 20 SOLO Cargo EVs is actually Pelican Food Concepts,
which is a franchisee of Mountain Mike’s Pizza, and not Mountain
Mike’s Pizza, LLC, the franchisor and brand, itself.
Further, while Pelican Food Concepts has agreed
to be an initial test, reference and market validation account for
ElectraMeccanica, provided that the SOLO Cargo EV vehicles meet its
pizza delivery specifications for cost and performance in initial
trials, an actual order for 20 vehicles has not yet been formally
contracted between the parties. The parties believe, however, that
an order for 20 vehicles (or a comparably sized order), will be
placed once final engineering and production of the vehicles occur,
which is expected early in the third quarter of this year.
“We are truly excited about the prospect of
becoming one of the first customers for ElectraMeccanica’s SOLO
Cargo EV units. It makes a lot of sense for our business needs and
the food-delivery part of our restaurant model,” said Phillip Dade,
a representative of Pelican Food Concepts. “We feel this unique EV
fits well with our sustainability goals as a franchise owner and
equally as important it could further enhance our bottom line
profitability.”
Given its right-sized capabilities, the SOLO
Cargo creates an ideal price point in the market for restaurants
that handle their own in-house deliveries. The SOLO Cargo is
expected to offer a low total cost of ownership alternative, which
incorporates an attractive vehicle acquisition price point, along
with lower ongoing maintenance requirements and lower annual
insurance premiums. Additionally, the SOLO and SOLO Cargo is
expected to support those businesses looking to reduce their carbon
footprint by transitioning to an electric vehicle and downgrade
their oversized traditional gas-powered fleet vehicles.
Kevin Pavlov, CEO of ElectraMeccanica, added,
“Pelican Food Concepts is a great example of the perfect use case
for our innovative SOLO Cargo EV in fleet applications. The
food-delivery space is growing rapidly, and for those restaurants
that handle some or all of their deliveries in house, cost and
efficiency are paramount concerns. The SOLO Cargo EV is expected to
directly address the growing need for a scalable delivery solution
while also helping businesses and restaurants enhance their
profitability in food delivery.”
ElectraMeccanica requests that any third party
media sites that may have reproduced our news release of February
23, 2022 remove such news release and correct any misstatements, as
applicable, based on this corrective news release.
