"Our successful uplisting to the Nasdaq Capital Market is the culmination of many years of hard work by our dedicated team. We could not think of a more fitting way to celebrate this landmark event in the evolution of our Company than to ring the Nasdaq opening bell alongside our key management team and major shareholders," stated Jerry Kroll, Chairman and CEO of Electra Meccanica. "Our SOLO, the all-electric, single-passenger vehicle is a revolutionary solution to commuting. As a Company focused on developing innovative solutions, it has been a perfect fit to join the Nasdaq, the leading exchange for tech companies. The scheduled delivery of our initial batch of mass production SOLOs in the last quarter of 2018 will bring us one step closer to our greater vision of closing the last gas station. It is time for our vision to spread thanks to increased visibility among members of the financial community and general public at large, who view Nasdaq as the place to be for dynamic, high growth public companies."
