ATLIS: Wants To Compete With Rivian -- April 30, 2022

I track EVs at this post; the "scorecard" tracks the principal operator, the company providing the software (often to include the semiconductors), the "deep pocket" backer. 

It appears Arizona is becoming an EV-manufacturer center for the US. Detroit (the metonym) will be a big EV player, of course, but it looks like Arizona wants to be the "Detroit" for EVs. 

Or maybe better said, three centers for EV excellence: Detroit, Arizona, and Austin. But then there's also George, Alabama, the Carolinas, which I might lump together as the "Southeast," giving us four centers for EV excellence: Detroit, Austin, Arizona, and the Southeast.

I don't know, maybe other folks have a better understanding of all this. 

Maybe readers can help me with this: EV pickups. Who's building them? I can think of three: Tesla, Detroit (Ford being the most visible), and Rivian.

Now, there's a fourth: Atlis. Atlis Motor Vehicles website. The website will explain how "everyday" folks can invest in this start-up.

It looks like Atlis is a battery company first, and a pick-up company second. They'll sell / market their batteries through their pick-up trucks.

ATLIS Regulation A+ crowdfunding. 

ATLIS is Arizona-based. Will eventually go public but folks can invest now. 

Apparently, Atlis is comparing itself to Rivian.

This is probably as good a site as any for quickly bringing us up-to-date with Atlis.

Three business units:

• energy: batteries
• XP platform: the "base" platform for their vehicles; a modular platform;
• XT Pickup Truck: the pick-up truck "we see"

Apparently the XT Pickup has reached "body-in-white" stage. The body will be built / manufactured by Schwab Industries which is based in Michigan. The body will be shipped to Arizona where the body will be placed on the XP Platform.

Schwab, apparently also has an interest in space but I'm not what the connection is as of yet. 

I'll be adding Atlis to the EV scorecard.

The XP Platform will be built / manufactured "in-house" by the Atlis team "to ensure quality.
