Company description

XP Vehicles, Inc.TM 

The bet: You can't find any other electric car company on Earth with a safer, lower cost, better ROI, Better TCO, Longer range car design!

We have developed an entirely new way to build a car; and it is a car that not a single one of our competitors, in side-by-side computer modeling, side-by-side metrics analysis or side-by-side financial model review;  has been able to beat on safety, price, performance, range, capital cost or other key features and advantages.

Q. "How do we know it will work?": 
A.
It's just a car. It is not a flying saucer. There are tens of millions of cars out on the street right now that you can look at, all built by the same people that will build the XP- MUV. They have four wheels, we have four wheels. They have brakes, we have brakes. We have everything that they have. We just have some better engineering tweaks. We figured out the clever bits, you can see them here. It costs tens of millions of dollars to build a REAL auto industry prototype and we have not received tens of millions of dollars yet. All of the engineering groups we are working with have done it many times over. We have not built an entire car because: #1. Everybody knows what a car is and looks like. #2. As noted: It costs tens of millions of dollars to build an auto industry prototype car. Anything less is a "fake" mock-up like our competitors are showing that cannot legally be driven on the road and will just need to be thrown out or sold on Ebay later. Many of their "demo cars" have not been produced by factories, not gone through FEA, are hand-built for massive amounts of money and will never actually be delivered, as you seem them now, to consumers. They will go through massive changes before they are "real cars". We would rather do it right.

XP Vehicles stands ready to deliver green jobs and clean cars to America and the World. With nationwide operations, from coast-to-coast, benefitting all.

Our project has been entirely funded by its staff, founder and DOE grant, to date. We are the world's smallest auto company with the world's largest manufacturing resources. We are contracting all of the other existing suppliers so our overhead is massively smaller than Detroit's which means we make more money, sooner than they do. Our cars have far less parts than their cars do, which means we can make and sell our cars at a lower cost and they are easier to fix. We also sell direct, which also means we make more money than they do. Which is why they are very threatened by us. It costs our competitors half a billion dollars to make money. It only costs us $75-$100M to make $1.5 Billion in less than 5 years. 

The company is seeking funding and investment partners for licensing, lobby efforts, legal, manufacturing development and prototype testing. 

A Forbes: America's Most Promising Company Semi-finalist. One of the least capital intensive new car companies in the world with one of the most experienced management and technical teams from Detroit and the Aerospace industry.
