After an absence of over 70 years, Detroit Electric, the
innovative electric car manufacturer, has returned to the
legendary Motor City, promising job creation and a range of
exciting 100% electric vehicles for the mass market.

Heralding the rebirth of the original electric car brand, Detroit
Electric has announced the establishment of its corporate
headquarters on the 18th floor of the iconic Fisher Building,
located in downtown Detroit, with Don Graunstadt, CEO, North
America Operations at Detroit Electric, signing a long-term
lease.

A site has also been identified to assemble the first ever pure
electric sports car in Michigan, with production to start in
August. The dedicated production facility will have an annual
capacity of 2,500 sports cars. Detroit Electric aims to create
over 180 sales and manufacturing-related jobs over the next 12
months.

The first model to carry the renowned Detroit Electric logo will
be a limited-edition two-seat sports car. This new sports car
will be launched early next month in Detroit, ahead of a global
public reveal at the Shanghai Motor Show on 20 April.
The show
will also provide the platform for Detroit Electric to share an
exciting announcement about a major partnership with a global
carmaker.
On sale in many of Detroit Electric’s target markets by end of
August 2013, the new Detroit Electric sports car will spearhead a
diverse family of all-electric production cars, including two
other high-performance models that will enter production by end
of 2014.
