A 100% electric transportation future is critical to reducing carbon emissions in the Valley, yet existing technologies don’t meet the power and cost requirements that will drive widespread electric vehicle adoption. If EVs don’t have enough power or they cost too much, people and organizations will continue using their gas-powered vehicles.
Exro Technologies is an energy technology company that recently relocated its corporate headquarters from Canada to Mesa. “Relocating to the Greater Phoenix area gives us access to the local supply chain, including potential customers and partners,” says Exro CEO Sue Ozdemir. “The geography also provides optimal testing conditions for our technology in all types of vehicles, from motorcycles to Humvees. The region’s talent pool of innovative minds and a high quality of life sealed the deal.”
Exro is laser-focused on reducing component costs to make EVs accessible for all, and accelerating the transition to a sustainable, electrified and more equitable future. Its flagship technology is called Coil Driver™, and it expands the capabilities of electric motors, generators and batteries inside EVs. Using intelligent power electronics, Exro eliminates the need for multiple motors and extends battery life to solve automakers’ and their equipment manufacturers’ performance-cost trade-off. Essentially, its technology makes EVs more powerful, allowing them to go farther distances on a single charge, while reducing costs.
Exro is working on a number of interesting projects to meet the electric needs of all drivers. For motorcyclists, for example, Exro is making sure electric motorcycles deliver the same — if not more — speed and power that gasoline-fueled bikers seek on the open road. Those who take public transit can expect an electric bus with Exro’s technology to ride smoother and enable savings that could potentially trickle down to the riders. By working with international auto parts suppliers, Exro is working to make every type of EV is better and less expensive.
