ELECY in production. The mission done
— THE STORY
MAKING CHANGE
THROUGH ACTION.
I've always aimed high. From a young age, I set my sights on Formula One and worked relentlessly towards it. My approach: be a sponge. Learn as much as possible, undertake as many placements as I could.
One morning, stuck in traffic on the way to work, I became aware of a problem I just had to solve. We move two tonnes of metal to travel a few kilometres, often alone. That became the Elecy.
"I USED TO MAKE CARS GO FASTER. THEN I DECIDED TO BUILD THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS."
