The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is an agency of the U.S. federal government, part of the Department of Transportation. It describes its mission as “Save lives, prevent injuries, reduce vehicle-related crashes related to transportation in the United States”.
Unlike competitors Tesla, Nikola, Polestar, Lucid, VW, Ford, Jaguar, and others, E-cite is not required to meet any of the safety or other costly certifications of a traditional auto manufacturer making the ease and timeline of offering new vehicles to market significantly more favorable. Whereas the initial timeline to be able to deliver a production vehicle to market generally exceeds 3 years and often longer at a very high cost, E-Cite expects to be delivering its first production vehicles for the 2023 model year. That is less than 12 months from inception to the showroom.

What We Do.
There is a high demand for EV automobiles but they either fall into the expensive Luxury and Performance Categories or the affordable utilitarian boring mass-produced Economy Category. The need for an iconic stylish affordable EV vehicle that is capable of titillating performance is a hole in the market. This is because the requirements of meeting the safety and EPA regulations of being a car manufacturer dictate that they appeal to the very high end where there are large profits per sale or the mass-produced Economy market where they can make it up in volume.
Historically the regulations and certifications to produce a complete motor vehicle and sell it as a road legal vehicle have been logistically difficult and cost prohibitive for all but the mass production manufacturers. Vehicles must meet all the latest safety, emissions, and other road worthy certifications. To prove that the new vehicle meets all these requirements requires expensive certifications, testing, and destroying as many examples as is required. This mandated that by default they must produce significant quantities to gain economies of scale and quantity of vehicles, massive investments in factories and other infrastructures must be developed. This has been the case with increased barriers to entry throughout the automobile
In 2015 Congress enacted a bill into law the “Low Volume Vehicle Manufacturers Act of 2015” directing the NHSTA to establish a program allowing low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to produce a limited number of vehicles annually within a regulatory system that addresses the unique safety and financial issues associated with limited production, and to direct the EPA to allow low volume motor vehicle manufacturers to install engines from vehicles that have been issued certificates of conformity. Although they were given one year to establish this new program it took until January 2021 until the NHSTA issued a final ruling to allow low volume vehicle manufacturing. Under the act car manufacturers are exempt from all the safety standards but they must meet current emissions standards.
E-Cite Motors does NOT build Kit cars. Our vehicles are fully engineered complete automobiles and will be registered and titled as new vehicles.
Our Newest Addition,
Gene Langmesser & N2A
Part visionary, part grease monkey, Gene Langmesser has created world-renowned engineering teams, executed cutting-edge vehicle programs for both domestic and international OEMs, and has introduced new innovations that have transformed the automotive industry.
Opportunity:
1. Manufacturer must build fewer than 5000 vehicles annually or 325 built for or imported into the US. “This includes combined production of any subsidiaries or parent companies.”
2. Vehicles do not need to be exact replicas but rather must “resemble” vehicles produced at least 25 years ago.
3. Must use engines that are certified for the purpose by the EPA. “At this time there are no engine packages that are certified for use under this act under the EPA guidelines, but electric vehicles are exempt from any EPA regulations as they are zero emissions.”
E-Cite Motors has developed a modular design that will be engineered to allow the production of vehicles utilizing a skateboard style chassis that uses electric motors. As the system is fully modular this allows for configurations ranging from low powered batteries and only a single 100hp motor on up to a high powered 1000hp performance vehicle utilizing AWD 4 250hp motors
Using this modular design allows for entry level vehicles that are fully upgradable, that can be fitted with a variety of bodies ranging from fun affordable sportscars, utilitarian vehicles, made from inexpensive fiberglass all the way beyond the performance achieved by today’s petrol supercars using state of the art carbon fiber.
