Speaking on the announcement, Suhas Rajkumar, Founder and CEO of Simple Energy, said, “Engineering and incremental innovation are the cornerstones of everything we do at Simple Energy. Developing a BMS from scratch was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made, allowing us to have an unparalleled degree of vertical integration on the ONE – allowing us to achieve more range and performance than any other EV on the market. This decision will also make it easier for Simple to develop future products.”
