"...Kroll says the company will begin delivery of Electra Meccanica’s Alpha series. At approximately 10 units per month, assembly of this initial run will be performed by Electra Meccanica partner, Vancouver-based Intermeccanica, a custom coach builder that has been making reproductions of the Porsche 356 and other classic sports cars since 1959."
While a slow start, Kroll says the company will ramp up production quickly in 2017 to fulfil pre-orders from private and commercial customers. At that point, he says assembly will move to a planned 250,000-sq.-ft. facility in British Columbia followed by similar facilities in Ontario, the U.S., France and Germany.
'Potentially, we could be building 100,000 of our cars next year, or double what Tesla has been able to put out,” Kroll says. “I will caution that by saying that they’ve actually done 55,000 and we plan on producing 100,000. So, we’ll see what happens.'"
