help these players advance their products, when
those dollars should be lifting people out of
poverty - I mean how many people in low-income
communities can afford a $75,000 vehicle, and
the maintenance to keep it up?
Still, with all the spending and the federal
government support, potential consumers are not
buying in, and have concerns about charging
stations, station locations, and range anxiety.
So, the team at Derek Automotive will continue to
move forward, not just to sell you new cars, but to
actually change your environment by listening to
consumers and by adding some final pieces to
our corporate structure. That new piece is RETRO
by Exeeder.
I love that we chose to reveal new technology by
putting it into something old - nostalgia feels
good, and I can't wait to cruise in this beauty
listening to some Curtis Mayfield, but to keep the
world moving forward we're putting something
new underneath the hood.
The world should follow us (ie...) same old country
but more equality, same old world but better
ways of settling conflicts, same old cars on the
road but they're all electric. RETRO will illustrate
that while the old way is no longer viable, all the
good that it once held can be reincorporated into
the future and made new again.
As we work to bring new electric cars to market
we also know that reaching the goal of having half
the cars on the road being electric drive by 2050
can't happen by selling new cars alone.
...unifying political parties around
profitable de-carbonization
There are 276 million gas cars on the road in
the US, the majority are driven by people that
can't afford a $75k electric vehicle.
RETRO will reveal an old classic with something
new under the hood before summer. It will set
the stage for a new industry of converting the
legacy gas car fleet over to electric. The effort
will drop new, high-paying jobs into every
Congressional District. Not just single large
plants, but thousands of small shops and
businesses joining together to create a
retrofitting supply chain to achieve a national
goal. Together, I think we can turn this into a
movement capable of unifying political parties
around 'profitable de-carbonization.'
Yes, I hear my doubters out there, the sideline
sitters throwing mud. But this Derek
Automotive team is not doing easy. We don't
do old, and we don't do scared. We must be
willing to fail because it's in our DNA, as an
organization, to be bold.
What will come in the next few months will be
exciting and telling. It's my hope that Ukraine
will be free of Russian troops, and that we will
have made another big step in demonstrating
the path to freeing our country of carbon
emissions from its transportation sector. Let
Freedom Ring, I can hear it, by summer you
will see it ringing too.
