SAN DIEGO, 1 August 2023: Taiga Motors Corporation, the leading off-road electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, achieves a significant milestone with its historic first deliveries in California. This expansion into the Golden State marks a major step in Taiga’s mission to revolutionize the powersports industry. With this achievement, Taiga vehicles are now available in the United States’ top three boating and EV adoption hubs.
Taiga’s CEO Expresses Excitement
Sam Bruneau, CEO and Co-Founder of Taiga Motors, expresses his excitement, stating, “This is a momentous time for Taiga. Our expansion into California, along with our existing presence in Florida and Texas, establishes Taiga as a key player in the off-road EV sector coast to coast. We are very proud to offer our 100% electric personal watercraft OrcaTM Carbon to Californians that want to explore the state’s stunning waterways in a more sustainable way.”
A Thrilling Experience for Customers
Taiga’s Orca Carbon is the world’s first mass-produced fully electric personal watercraft, made entirely of carbon fibre and powered by a strong electric motor. The Orca Carbon gives a thrilling and peaceful water exploration experience, with up to 120kW peak power and a top speed of 62mph. Early adopters like Slade Fester in California are eager to embrace the clean and quiet motor of the Orca, making it a preferred choice over traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) watercraft.
Expanding the Service Network
Taiga operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer approach and has expanded its service network with the addition of H&H Marine as a new Taiga Service Provider (TSP) in San Diego. With this addition, Taiga now has a network of 19 TSPs strategically located in 25 key locations across North America. H&H Marine shares Taiga’s vision of a sustainable environment and will play a crucial role in assisting customers with vehicle ownership and after-sale service, if required. Taiga’s 100% electric vehicles are low-maintenance, with most services delivered via remote servicing and Over-the-Air (OTA) updates.
Introducing Orca Performance
Taiga is set to introduce the Orca Performance, leveraging cutting-edge SMC technology and battery innovations. This model aims to make electric personal watercraft (PWC) more accessible to powersports enthusiasts while maintaining high-performance capabilities. With endless possibilities for water exploration, Orca Performance will allow riders to sustainably enjoy waters around the world without compromising on power or performance.
Pioneering Sustainable EV Solutions
Taiga’s commitment to sustainability and innovation has earned recognition, with the Orca Carbon topping the 200 Best Inventions of 2022 list by Time magazine and winning prestigious awards like the Fast Company 2022 World Changing Ideas Award and the 2022 Best of What’s New Award from Popular Science. As Taiga expands its presence in California, the company aims to redefine the powersports industry by making it more sustainable, accessible, and exhilarating for customers.
Conclusion
Taiga’s historic first deliveries in California mark a significant achievement in the company’s mission to revolutionize the powersports industry with sustainable and high-performance electric vehicles.
