Atlis Motor Vehicles, Inc Raising Funds on StartEngine | EquityCrowdfundingDeals

Atlis Motor Vehicles is raising funds on the equity crowdfunding Engine Start. The new startup company, Atlis Motor Vehicles is an electric vehicle development and manufacturing company that specializes in consumer and commercial light, medium, and heavy duty trucks.

Atlis Motor Vehicles was born in founder Mark Hanchett’s garage, ignited by curiosity and personal motivation. Mark’s goal: take his energy-guzzling diesel pickup and transform it into an electric truck.

"To build a better future, we need to create better alternatives. We created Atlis Motor Vehicles because pickup trucks are some of the most popular vehicles on the market and a vehicle that can benefit significantly from electrification. To deliver an all-electric pickup truck, it must not compromise the existing experience." - Mark Hanchett, Founder.

Similar to Tesla Motors, Atlis Motor Vehicles is designing and building a fully plug-in battery electric pickup truck. 

The XT Pickup Truck will be one of the world's first 100% battery electric full-size pickup truck. Capable of up to a 500 mile range and with subscription options that include maintenance. Every truck is custom built to order starting at $45,000. The pickup is built on a 100% electric vehicle platform, The XP Platform, that is capable of integration into RV's, box trucks, delivery vehicles and beyond. Capable of extending range, adding accessory battery power, and adding tandem axle configurations for medium and heavy-duty vehicles.

Capable of delivering enough power for our 15-minute charge times today, and 5 minute charge times tomorrow. The company is also planning on deploying Advanced Charging Stations along major highway corridors to enable long-distance travel, and key metro areas where Atlis customers are concentrated. The pickup charging ports will also be compatible with existing charging standards. 

Atlis Motor Vehicles is currently in the Test the Waters Phase for Title IV investments.
