It has been projected that the U.S. federal government will provide approximately $2.7 billion in direct stimulus earmarks supporting federal electric vehicle fleets, advanced battery system development, and end-user market development programs. Inevitably, this will assist in the acceleration of market transition from ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) powered vehicles. 

Meridian Motors is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this inevitable market transition and the government's position in terms of vehicle acquistion in the near future. 

Meridian Motors has designed, developed and produced an electric vehicle that meets and exceeds standards set forth by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and the national Department of Transportation (DOT). The company will market and sell tothe Low Speed Vehicle (LSV)/STOV segments, which have both proven to be a viable and profitable space.

By providing an automobile-quality electric vehicle through both dealership and direct sales distribution (DSD) channels, current and potential customers are given the opportunity to get personalized service as well as cost-effective and efficient alternatives. Our vehicle options are affordable, accessible, adaptable and built to the highest possible standards for reliability and durability.


The Meridian Motors STOV is manufactured with high quality automotive parts and accessories. The motor and drive train of each vehicle has been tested under extreme circumstances, from moving passengers around in the extreme heat of the Las Vegas desert to pulling private jets from their hangars.

Meridian Motors is a Nevada Corporation, recognized by the Nevada Secretary of State. The management team has gone to great strides to build relationships and deploy vehicles in several markets to solidify proof of concept.

To date, here are some of our accomplishments:


The vehicle is already in use and a new version with upgrades is currently in production at our partner facility in China.

 

We have begun pre-sales discussions with buyers in California (Catalina Island, 1600 cars on the island need to be replaced), Nevada (Henderson Executive Airport, Las Vegas First Friday's Event, The Las Vegas Downtown Development Project, and several movie production companies in Las Vegas), and Kansas (where the
                            Keystone pipeline will be targeted).

Our goal for the first 12 months is to exceed 100 units sold. We are already on track to hit that goal with our initial presales negotiations: 20 vehicles on Catalina Island, 15-20 vehicles to Las Vegas movie production companies, 15 vehicles to private plane owners, and the potential of over 20 vehicles to a major
                            Las Vegas communications company.

Our Team

The Meridian Motors management team has an excellent track record of individual performance that will translate into a cohesive, efficient and effective team. The team has pushed through several iterations to ensure a quality product is now immediately available to go to market.

Our mission, company culture and core values ensure that the development stages will be fruitful and productive. We have the technical expertise immediately available to begin operations without delay and can ramp up internal and external operatives to assist in the promotion of the products, establish lean processes, and produce a highly functional and diverse product line. Our "customer backward” mentality will guide the creation of stringent quality control parameters that will allow Meridian to offer the best warranties in the business. The Meridian team has a strong sales management background and many years of experience in B2B and B2C sales. Our impressive marketing team has many years of experience in multi-channel marketing, SEO, SEM, public relations and advertising buying.

Our Product

Our electric vehicle can travel 45 miles per battery life and only needs 6 hours to fill up and go again. It is surprisingly powerful, which is evident in its ability to pull a jet out of a hangar. Built from long-lasting, durable parts, it will outlive golf carts and our competitors which allows consumers to drive it for years without the need for maintenance. And since it is electric, there are no emissions.
