How HummingbirdEV uses modular platforms and micro-factories to lower the cost of commercial EVs

Charged EVs

Now, how do you want to do your whole fleet electrification, and how do you reduce the infrastructure deployment time? How do you increase grid reliability, and how do you manage the peak hours? A lot of stuff is minimalized in our case, and also cleaner in how we produce the vehicles. And that’s with a handful of vehicles.
