SAN
DIEGO, Calif., Aug. 1, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - The leading off-road electric vehicle (EV)
manufacturer Taiga Motors Corporation (TSX:
TAIG) ("Taiga" or the "Company") is
thrilled to announce a major milestone with historic first
deliveries in California. The
company's expansion into the Golden State marks a significant step
forward in its mission to revolutionize the powersports industry.
With this recent advancement, Taiga vehicles are now available in
the United States' three prominent
boating and EV adoption hubs.
Sam Bruneau, CEO and Co-Founder
of Taiga Motors, expressed his excitement, stating, "This is a
momentous time for Taiga. Our expansion into California, along with our existing presence
in Florida and Texas, establishes Taiga as a key player in
the off-road EV sector coast to coast. We are very proud to offer
our 100% electric personal watercraft OrcaTM
Carbon to Californians that want
to explore the state's stunning waterways in a more sustainable
way."
"As an early adopter of new technology, I already understood the
benefits of going electric: the performance, the torque; now I'm
looking forward to having this same feeling on an Orca'' explains
Slade Fester, Orca Carbon
reservation holder based in California. ''On the water, the sound and
smell of an ICE personal watercraft can be amplified, so I can't
wait to experience the clean and quiet motor of my new
Orca''.
Taiga operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer model. With the
onboarding of H&H Marine, a new Taiga Service Provider (TSP)
located in San Diego, Taiga has
now a network of 19 TSPs strategically located in 25 key locations
in North America.
"At H&H Marine, we're thrilled to be part of the Taiga
family in San Diego," says H&H
Marine Owner, Jeffrey Hughes. "Their
inspiring vision for a sustainable environment without compromises
aligns with our commitment to best serve our customers, especially
those who seek and support eco-conscious choices when it comes to
outdoor recreation."
As a new TSP, H&H Marine will assist customers in taking
ownership of their new vehicle and ensure after-sale service, if
required. Indeed, these 100% electric vehicles require low
maintenance, most of which can be delivered through remote service
and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.
Orca: sustainable water
exploration without compromise
Orca Carbon, the world's first
mass-produced fully electric personal watercraft is crafted
entirely of carbon fiber and equipped with a powerful electric
motor. It silently glides through water with up to 120kW peak power
and a top speed of 62mph per hour1.
The soon to be introduced Orca Performance will also offer
endless possibilities for water exploration, aiming to make
electric PWC more accessible to powersports enthusiasts. Leveraging
cutting-edge SMC technology and battery innovations, Orca
Performance will give riders the ability to sustainably explore the
waters of the world without compromising performance or power.
Topping the 200 Best Inventions of 2022 list by Time
magazine and winner of a Fast Company 2022 World Changing Ideas
Award and a 2022 Best of What's New Award from Popular
Science, Taiga is thrilled to bring its EVs to California and redefine powersports industry
by making it more sustainable, accessible, and exhilarating than
ever.
