Back in October, 2021, Energica Motor Company CEO Liva Cevolini said that the brand was focused on expansion into new markets. If you’ll recall, that was about a month after American electric vehicle technology company Ideanomics had purchased a 70-percent controlling stake in Energica. At the time, Cevolini was talking about motorbikes—but there was also more going on behind the scenes.
By March, 2022, Energica unveiled its newest division, Energica Inside. True to the Ideanomics electric vehicle technology umbrella that Energica now nestles under, the purpose of EI is to provide electric solutions to other manufacturers. As Cevolini had said, this isn’t about automotive solutions—those are happening on their own. At the same time, the tech also isn’t restricted to powered two-wheelers, either. Prior to the Ideanomics deal, Energica tech was already powering boats through its partnership with Sealence.
