The Edge of Electrification: from muscle cars to jet skis

In-Depth

Electrifying the mobility sector doesn’t just stop with our everyday cars. Ellie McCann reports on three start-ups aiming to electrify more extreme modes of transport.

E-Muscle Cars replace the classic car's ICE with electric motors and a range of batteries depending on the customer's needs

Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERINCE World 2024 (February 11 – 14, 2024), hosted in Dallas, Texas, showcased not only the latest technology updates to its SolidWorks software, as well as the company’s leaders delving into topics such as generative AI and sustainable developments, but also a wide array of companies and inventions designed and refined on the platform.

A clear frontrunner in the industries supported by Dassault and SolidWorks is the automotive sector, and every automotive and mobility company present at the convention was in agreement on the key area of focus currently: electrification.

The Engineer heard from three companies – though focused on entirely different modes of transport and indeed on entirely different terrains – that are all committed to this electrification transition: E-Muscle Cars, Super Powers Mobility, and eSki.

These organisations, all fairly new startups, hope to demonstrate that electrification is not just for the road, nor just for standard automotive vehicles.
