Welcome to the Seedcamp Nation, Pelikan Mobility! Commercial fleets represent approximately 10% of total European emissions. While there is a significant drive for sustainability and electrification, the switch to EV-native fleet management and operations is complex, costly, and disruptive. This is why we are excited to back Pelikan Mobility, a UK and France-based deeptech platform on a mission to optimize the financing and operations of sustainable commercial fleets. Founded by David Salfati and Vincent Schachter, Pelikan aims to introduce the next logical step in shifting commercial mobility to electric vehicle (EV): tech-enabled, operations-centric leasing solutions. Pelikan bridges EV leasing and fleet operations, driving down the cost of electrification by: - Empowering operators to efficiently and productively integrate EVs in the specific operational context of their fleet, - Extending lease duration and assets longevity, while controlling risks and ensuring fit-for-purpose. Pelikan Mobility’s solution is being deployed and tested with major utility and logistics players in France. We are excited to be on this journey alongside Pale blue dot, Frst, and other investors.

Great article by Dr. Regina Lee Clewlow for Forbes Highlighting the origins of micromobility as well as the need for incentivization within the current day. It will be crucial in the upcoming years to incorporate micromobility as an option via public transit systems & for partnerships to exist between the two industries. This will further incentivize subscription-based models and work to resolve the divide in transportation. As the #micromobility lifecycle is constantly evolving, some key themes remain: - #Innovation - #Incentivization - Quick #GTM / #TTM - #Regulation - #Retention

A STEP AT A TIME -A JOURNEY OF A THOUSAND MILES THEY SAY!! If having MEETINGS with CEO's, Founders, Owner's & Co-owners measures SUCCESS then we are making 1. Progress in the electric mobility industry cannot solely be measured by the ability to have meetings with CEOs, founders, owners, and co-owners of electric vehicles, e-bikes, and other related technologies in electric Mobility industry. While valuable discussions and interactions with industry leaders are important aspects of progress, they should not be the sole determinant. Measuring progress solely based on meeting with key industry figures neglects other crucial indicators such as technological advancements, market penetration, consumer adoption, infrastructure development, policy improvements, and sustainability goals. These factors collectively contribute to the overall growth and success of a company in the electric mobility industry. Meeting with CEOs and founders of electric vehicle companies can be seen as a significant achievement, as it reflects recognition and validation within the industry. It can also open up opportunities for collaboration and partnerships. However, it should be seen as an initial step towards achieving greater progress, rather than an endpoint in itself. True progress lies in the ability to translate these meetings into tangible outcomes, such as the development of new products, the expansion of charging infrastructure, the introduction of innovative business models, and increased market share for electric vehicles and e-bikes. Progress also encompasses fostering a supportive ecosystem that encourages entrepreneurship, research, and development in the electric mobility sector. Additionally, progress can be measured by the implementation of strategic plans and the undertaking of concrete actions to address challenges and facilitate the energy transition in transportation. These actions may include advocating for favorable regulatory frameworks, investing in research and development, engaging in public-private collaborations, and promoting sustainable transportation solutions. Creating ground and room for businesses in the electric mobility industry is undoubtedly an important aspect of progress. However, it should be complemented by other critical indicators that reflect the holistic growth, sustainability, and impact of the industry. By considering a wider range of metrics, we can obtain a more comprehensive view of the progress being made and ensure that efforts are directed towards achieving a cleaner, greener, and more efficient transportation system. So, that been said can we say we are making progress at Elysiumatewt Concepts EV Nig ⚡🔌 We won't stop here 🚏 Go anywhere ⚙️ with Elysiumatewt Concepts 🔌⚡🍀🔋🏍️🛺🚗🚕🚗🚙🛻🚐🚚🚜🚒🚑
