ePropelled Raises $15M to Boost Electric Vehicle Adoption by Improving Efficiency

ePropelled, a Massachusetts-based electrical manufacturing startup, has raised $15 million in Sequence A funding to create extra environment friendly motors and mills utilizing electrical propulsion.

The funding spherical counted with participation from undisclosed strategic particular person traders and can enable the startup to spice up its product innovation and advertising and marketing penetration efforts. Nick Grewal, ePropelled’s CEO and president, referred to the startup’s potential to disrupt the Electrical Automobile (EV) market by stating:

“Our expertise and enterprise are based mostly across the basic concept that effectivity is important to increasing inexperienced transport and bettering sustainability. By decreasing the quantity of electrical energy that EVs use, our expertise makes EVs extra reasonably priced for shoppers to spice up adoption, reduces the quantity of energy used from the grid, and makes batteries last more leading to fewer uncooked supplies consumed and diminished manufacturing and recycling required.”

With transport accounting for 7.9 billion tons of CO2 emissions, the equal to twenty% of worldwide emissions, EVs have grow to be an more and more widespread inexperienced transport technique on account of their diminished environmental affect.
