Motors Group an innovative Electric
Vehicle manufacturer announced that the video interview with its
COO legendary designer Gene Langmesser addressing questions
submitted by shareholders is now available at www.ecitemotors.com.
The interview was conducted by investor/ analyst Mark
Schaftlein on March 6, 2022.
Subjects discussed included the Company's competitive
advantage over other EV auto manufacturers, the types of vehicles
that will be available first to customers, plans to change the name
and symbol of the Company, Gene's background, and his favorite past
projects.
Questions submitted specifically by shareholders such as how
E-Cite will address safety concerns given it is not subject to
current safety certifications, general design of the vehicle, and
the fact that the vehicles are fully engineered state of the art
new vehicles that have VIN Numbers for road use and are sold as
complete vehicles. Also discussed is why the vehicles will resemble
iconic cars from more than 25 years ago.
Note* E-Cites vehicles are in no way
categorized as "Kit Cars" as they are manufactured new
vehicles.
COO Gene Langmesser commented: "I want to thank all the
shareholders and interested parties that took their time to ask
very inquisitive questions. I am looking forward to being able to
share more updates as we move forward and encourage anyone to ask
questions as details are released. I also want to express my
gratitude for Mark Schaftlein for having me in this interview. He
is truly as genuine as his reputation and I welcome the opportunity
to return in the future."
Gene Langmesser has extensive years of
domestic and international professional experience in the Sales,
Business Development, Executive Business Operations, and the
Product Design Engineering industry. He is an executive and has
held these positions in both aerospace and automotive sectors of
the world. Gene formed many teams over his career and has executed
programs for both domestic and international Markets. He worked his
way up through all the key job classifications and has performed
these tasks from "art to part" interfacing with the entire
executive team, sales and technical. In his career Gene set-up
offices, design, engineering, rapid prototyping, mock-up, and
fabrication facilities. He has conducted international business in
Germany, Italy, England, France, Poland, and Mexico.
In 2016 Gene and N2A were task to
design and build the first ever Hydrogen Hybrid Semi-Truck, by
Nikola Motors. They delivered the entire carbon fiber body, all
lighting, glass, mirrors, grills, emblems, full interior, dash,
gauges, beds, seats, and many other aspects. N2A was also
contracted by Nikola to build much of the first ever all-electric
UTV 72 kWh EV buggy project that can hit zero to 60 in about 3
seconds.
In addition to leading design and
product development teams and prototyping for automobile
manufacturers such as Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus, Ford, Hyundai, and
others, he has also created or built many movie cars or props. Most
notably the futuristic Lexus 2054 driven in
"Minority Report", the taxis in "Taxi", Fighter ships in
"Battlestar Galactica" the
Batmobile in "Batman and Robin", and the Terminators bodies in
Terminator 3.
Unlike competitors Tesla, Nikola,
Polestar, Lucid, VW, Ford, Jaguar, and others, E-cite is not
required to meet any of the safety or other costly certifications
of a traditional auto manufacturer making the ease and timeline of
offering new vehicles to market significantly more favorable.
Whereas the initial timeline to be able to deliver a production
vehicle to market generally exceeds 3 years and often longer at a
very high cost, E-Cite expects to be delivering its first
production vehicles for the 2023 model year. That is less than 12
months from inception to the showroom.
This is possible because E-Cites
vehicles qualify under the "Low Volume Vehicle Manufacturers Act of
2015" In 2015 Congress enacted a bill into law directing the NHSTA
to establish a program allowing low volume motor vehicle
manufacturers to produce a limited number of vehicles annually
within a regulatory system that addresses the unique safety and
financial issues associated with limited production, and to direct
the EPA to allow low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to install
engines from vehicles that have been issued certificates of
conformity. Although they were given one year to establish this new
program it took until January 2021 until the NHSTA issued a final
ruling to allow low volume vehicle manufacturing. Under the act car
manufacturers are exempt from all the safety standards but they
must meet current emissions standards. There are no emissions
standards for EV vehicles.
E-Cite Motors has developed a modular
design that will be engineered to allow the production of vehicles
utilizing a skateboard style chassis that uses hub electric motors.
As the system is fully modular this allows for configurations
ranging from low powered batteries and only a single 100hp motor on
up to a high powered 1000hp performance vehicle utilizing AWD and 4
250hp motors.
