That's an electric race of course!
A race against time - and a race to capture a new and lucrative global market.
A 21st Century connected-electric market full of new and better ways to deliver efficient and clean mobility. There are mega investors from China at play now and extraordinary alliances unfolding - with some big surprises just around the corner...
Meanwhile, over in France - a proposition caught my eye last year. A very clever EV proposition it seems to me...
Fun!
Serious Fun!
French entrepreneur Monsieur Damien Biro has a name to live up to - his Grandfather invented the...
Yep! - you guessed it!
Mr Biro is determined to write his name into history too - and has smartly developed from scratch both an electric race car - and a clever business model.
Inevitably, it's been the classic challenging start-up journey from concept to project via investors to product and a few bumps along the way...
But we are now at the races! Allez Vite!
Pariss Electric is a super smart two seater racer that will be available for track days and the like all over the world. Vehicles will be located in Asia, Europe, and The Americas - in close proximity to 'venues' where they can be put to the test.
Appropriately, the car was launched during the weekend of the Paris ePrix, and I can vouch for a full house and a bunch of very enthusiastic investors keen to hear an update from Damien and his Team. I'm helping out a bit on this side of the English Channel...or should I say La Manche?!
There is a comprehensive plan for 'team ownership' and a turnkey proposition for how it will all get up and running - including some impressive partners now in place. As ever, there is still much to do, but advanced discussions with many people and organisations in and around the EV space have illustrated just what an exciting proposition it all is.
A Team package of 6 vehicles - 2 in Europe, Asia, and America - minimises vehicle transport - makes up the principal offer. Over and above future volume production this is a stand-alone business proposition - that's why I think it is so exciting amidst the fast evolving EV 'Family'
Inform - Educate - Entertain
That will be the broad remit of Pariss Electric, and I'm convinced that the business will play a vital role in augmenting the wonderful work that many people and enterprises, especially Formula E, have been busy with. That series sees the addition of the extraordinary Roborace in Season 3, as well as Team Jaguar leaping onto the grid - and a lot more in discussion to add to it all!
I count myself as very lucky to be working with Damien and his fantastic team, and we all look forward to sharing progress with you over the coming months.
My close involvement has also rapidly improved my French...and my photobombing capabilities!
