Investor FAQ

We are using a subscription agreement following US 506(c) rules Regulation D and Canadian NI 45 106 and NI 45 110 rules

Is this a risky investment?

Yes, absolutely. We are a startup EV company and there’s a lot of risks built into that. Please do not invest any money that you can’t afford to lose.

On a personal note: I do not want anyone invest any money that they’re going to be worried about not having. We will survive without your investment. I don’t want anyone stressed over this. We’re a start-up. This is a very risky investment – Chace

Edison Motors is seeking a $200M USD company valuation.

It was primarily done but comparing other EV t startups at similar stages to ourselves and their value at the time (around $700m – $4 billion). And then we reduced the amount from those other companies as we have a longer plan to get to market going slow and steady so can’t promise as fast as returns as the other guys. We’re playing it slow and safe but that does lower the comparative valuation
