To kick it off with a bit of zest, picture this: A team just swaggers in, radiating confidence and a dash of flamboyance – carrying a vision as powerful as the Tesla coils themselves! They’re here to deliver Bangladesh’s first-ever electric vehicle made entirely from scratch, designed for affordability and intended to be the common man’s trusty steed. Let’s not dawdle – buckle up, and let’s zero in on the electrifying backstory!
The team’s trailblazer and founder, Mustafa, radiates passion and commitment as dazzling as a fully-charged car battery. His aim isn’t merely to roll out a spiffy product, but also to ignite a spark in the lives of people, enabling them to earn and prosper through his venture. Jokes aside, this guy sold his apartment to fuel his burning passion for problem-solving – talk about putting the ‘charge’ in ‘charge ahead’!
Peering into the pitch, you can’t help but feel the electric vibe. Despite the ambitious plans to supercharge the transportation industry in BD – amid tech and talent deficits – this team’s drive doesn’t falter. They view these speed bumps as challenges, saying, “Challenge Accepted!” In fact, they’ve already put rubber to the road and created the first-ever pair of electric vehicles in BD. Here’s a stand-up-worthy play on words: they aim to ’empower’ the CNG taxi drivers by cutting down their costs by one-third.
No time to brake now; we’re cruising at a good speed. They’re planning to produce battery-powered covered vans – sure, ‘van-tastic’ right? They’ve already bagged 25 preorders. Now, onto my Sherlock Holmes moment: after some detective work, I found a peek-worthy video. The design is as shocking as an unexpected static zap, like nothing seen in Bangladesh before.
Now let’s hit the gas and get to the climax of the pitch. The sharks took the hatchback, inspired by some pretty posh cars, out for a whirl. Imagine this – it’s as compact as a joke but manages to swallow up four sharks without a hiccup. Well, Leon, having an eagle eye, offered a few suggestions to upgrade the homemade, minimal-tech vehicle. There were a few bolt-from-the-blue revelations too, like the next version having solar panels to power up while loitering in the sun, and an impressive output of 21 cars.
After a bit of wheeling and dealing, a deal was charged up with Sami – a work order financing loan worth 1 core. “Spark” up your interest? Here’s to some electrifying adventure!
