Remember Saab The quirky Swedish car brand They may be gone, but a glimmer of hope remains for their electric future. Here’s the story:
- Saab’s automotive division went bankrupt in 2011.
- National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) bought Saab’s assets and created the NEVS 93 EV, an electric version of the Saab 93.
- NEVS later designed the Emily GT, a fully electric sedan with a 600-mile range!
- Sadly, NEVS shut down in March 2023.
But wait, there’s more
- Canadian startup Electra EV purchased the Emily GT project in December 2023.
- The Emily GT closely resembles the Saab 95 and boasts a luxurious interior.
- It’s packed with impressive features:
- Over 600-mile range on a single charge!
- Four in-wheel motors generating 484 horsepower.
- Potential for a high-performance version with even more power.
Electra EV plans to
- Initially manufacture the Emily GT in Turkey.
- Refurbish Saab’s original factory in Sweden for future production.
- Potentially begin deliveries within a couple of years.
Will it succeed?
- The market might be limited, especially in North America and China.
- Europe, the Middle East, and Africa could be more receptive.
- Maybe the Emily GT could be rebranded as a Volvo or Polestar model?
Saab fans shouldn’t get too excited yet, but the Emily GT offers a chance for the Saab spirit to live on in the electric car world.
