Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zapp EV, said: “Our first product has now won a total of nine design awards. This goes a long way to validate i300 as fit-for-purpose in the most valuable segment of what is widely expected to be a $200 billion global market. It took time to reach our most recent milestones, but we have now optimized with a stronger platform to achieve our planned trajectory. Moreover, the replicability of our manufacturing reference site means we can scale rapidly to meet demand as we roll out globally to key urban areas in Southeast Asia, Europe and India.”
