XEV Ltd (short for X-Electrical Vehicle)[2] is an Italian-Hong Kong electric microcar manufacturer based in Hong Kong, operating since 2016. According ot former employees, the company has been insolvent since early 2024.[3]
History
In 2016, a Chinese engineer and entrepreneur, Tik Lou, engaged a team of native collaborators, as well as those experienced in, among others, in the then FCA group of designers. As a result, the automotive startup XEV was created, choosing Hong Kong as its headquarters, with a styling office located in Turin, Italy.[4]
With the start of operations, XEV focused on the development of its project, an electric microcar with elements made in a 3D printer, collecting initial funding thanks to European funds.[5] In 2019, the company announced that its vehicle would be manufactured at its newly acquired plant in Shanghai, China.[1]
A pre-production XEV car was unveiled in December 2019, with plans to start series production in August 2020 if the necessary funds are raised through a crowdfunding campaign.[5] The final model finally debuted in September 2021,[6] in the same month not only going into production,[7] but also having a world debut at the IAA 2021 show in Munich.[8]
