RBW EV Cars Receives £10 Million Investment from Silicon Valley Venture Capital Firm

New Funding Catapulting EV Manufacturer's Global Expansion in 2024; Funding Being Used to Increase Marketing, Manufacturing, Operations and Sales

LONDON, June 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RBW EV Cars – the UK's only EV manufacturer of new, hand-crafted British classic sports cars, today announced that it recently secured a £10m investment from San Francisco Bay Area-based Meson Capital Partners, which will be used to expand the company's operations, manufacturing, sales and marketing on a global scale. Riding on the coattails of this news, RBW also cemented several business partnerships to bolster the EV company's manufacturing capabilities. The recent events are part of RBW's business plans to expand its global market share and mindshare following unprecedented demand for its hand-built, iconic sports cars that are presently backordered until the end of 2024.

The recent VC funding has already been utilized to finish the completion of its new, state-of-the-art factory in Lichfield, England, which now employs 42 employees. RBW's new Roadsters, and later this year with the debut of the GT model, are hand built by a team of specialized craftsmen, including hand tailored interiors that are customized for each individual customer.

"This year is poised to be one of the all-time best in our company's history as we continue to go from strength to strength increasing sales and production for our EV powered Roadster and soon to be launched GT model," said Peter Swain, CEO of RBW EV Cars. "The infusion in capital from our recent venture funding coupled with continuing demand for our new, classic British sports cars will allow us to expand our global footprint operationally to ensure a steady supply of our hand built EV's."

Currently, RBW offers its Roadster model, with a starting price of $135,000 (USD). In late 2024, the company will debut its long-awaited GT model, with a starting price of $151,000 (USD).
