Those who are familiar with the Avvenire story already know that we are not new to being told we can’t do it, starting from the customs agent who first told us we cannot import e-bikes, all the way until the person who told us we cannot build an electric car in Canada. Those who know us really well, however, will know that for us, it was never about selling e-bikes, mobility scooters, or ATVs, it was always about this – the Spiritus. 15 years, of ideas, design meetings, pitch meetings, no’s, maybe laters, youre-not-ready-yets, intermediate ideas, new ventures – all to build this one car.
We are finally at a point where this dream, the dream that first started in our founders’ garage in 2001, back when we were saying we are “building cool means of transportation”, can truly come to life. We showed you guys our ideas, and 1-billion-dollars worth of preorders later, we have heard your feedback, and we are now ready to execute.
