Olympian Motors is re-thinking how electric vehicles (EVs) are built and designed. Unlike EVs made with cheap plastic and an excessive number of touch screens, Olympian’s vehicles feature a simple, elegant design, and are made with steel and wood. As the company describes, it manufactures EVs with “class and aesthetics.”
Olympian is backed by several notable investors, including Y Combinator, Soma Ventures, Climate Capital, Mobility Vision Fund, and Columbia and Stanford University. And its team features former leaders from Tesla, Ford, Qualcomm, Apple, and Toyota.
The company has received nearly 785 pre-order deposits for its initial vehicle, the Model O1, creating a sixty-one-million-dollar revenue pipeline.
