Do they count as an EV maker if they never actually made anything?
What do you mean - they have video proof they built a truck. It didn't move on its own power, but they built it.
Isn't this the company that got busted for having their demo video of the 18 wheeler going downhill by gravity... and they claimed the truck was on its own power.
Yup. The phrase “EV truck maker” is doing a lot of work in this title.
The first* truck to use 100% gravitational power which is a much cleaner power source than electricity or internal combustion.
Should have called it the Newton
I can't believe they survived this long. Hard to really phrase it as "the latest EV company", they've been flailing since they pushed an empty truck down a hill.
This shitstain of a company has been around far too long.
I'm surprised they survived this long, being a crappy imitation brand that also committed fraud.
Just one of those terrible companies. Glad to see them go.
