Okokuqala, kulabo abangazi, I-Detroit Electric es enye yezinhlobo zezimoto ezindala kakhulu emhlabeni. Yasungulwa ngo-1907 eDetroit futhi eminyakeni yayo yokuqala yokuphila yathatha igama le-Anderson Electric Car Company. Eminyakeni engu-32 ikhiqiza izimoto zikagesi, yathola udumo olukhulu nokuthembeka, kodwa ngenxa yokuvela kwezinjini ezivuthayo zangaphakathi nokutholakala kwe-starter motor, kwadingeka bayeke ukusebenza.
Kwaze kwafika unyaka 2008 owasindiswa ekukhohlweni ngu Albert Lama. Owake waba yi-CEO ye-Lotus Engineering kanye noMqondisi Omkhulu we-Lotus Cars e-England, wayefuna ukubuyisela uphawu emsuka walo ngakho wanquma ukuthi izinhlobo zawo kufanele zibe zikagesi. Ngo-2015, i-SP:01 yafika emakethe. imodeli yokuqala yalesi sigaba sesibili. Imoto yezemidlalo enezihlalo ezimbili isekelwe ku-Lotus Elise chassis futhi inomshini kagesi onamandla amabili, kanye ne-204 ne-285 hp.
Nokho, IDetroit Electric akafuni ukuhlala lapho ekhona futhi ngenxa yalokho ufuna ukuncintisana kusuka kuwe kuya kuwe ngokufanayo Tesla. Ngalesi sizathu, sekunesikhathi sisebenza ukwethula izinhlobo ezahlukene zikagesi ngokuphelele emakethe ezingaba phakathi kwamazinga awo sedan, a ezemidlalo futhi a I-SUV. Ukuze balolonge la mamodeli, bandise kakhulu abasebenzi babo bonjiniyela, baqasha ochwepheshe abasha abangama-200.
Futhi ye- ukuqinisekisa ukusebenza kahle kwezezimali yephrojekthi, labo abanomthwalo wemfanelo wefemu baqinisekise ukuthi banokuhlinzekwa kokuthile 2 billion euros. Ngokusho kukaRichie Frost, uMqondisi Wezobuchwepheshe kanye noMqondisi weDetroit Electric

"Sithole i-a isisekelo esiqinile sezimali futhi sinenhlanhla ngokuba nesikhungo esikhethekile eWarwickhire esibheke ukunweba ngokwengeziwe ezinyangeni ezizayo.”
Lo msebenzi wokuvelela kufanele ufezeke ngenxa ebalulekile ukutshalwa kwezimali ku-R+D+i ukuthi bazokwenzani Ukuze ukuthuthukiswa kwabo kwenzeke, bazokwandisa Technology Centre banani I-Leamington Spa yona izobe ixhumana nezinsiza zakho eChina. Usuku oluqondile okuzokwenzeka ngalo lezi zinhlelo alukakhulunywa, kodwa uhlobo lufuna ukubeka amamodeli alo amasha emgwaqweni ngokushesha ngangokunokwenzeka.
