Zapp EV Received European Certification for i300
European homologation will also enable the sale of initial quantities of i300 in India
LONDON, March 17, 2025 – Zapp Electric Vehicles Group Limited (Nasdaq: ZAPP) (“Zapp EV” or the “Company”), owner of Zapp, the British electric vehicle brand on a mission to revolutionise personal urban mobility, today announced it has received the required certificate from the National Standards Authority of Ireland confirming European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (“ECWVTA”) for the i300, the Company’s high-performance electric urban motorcycle. Zapp EV can now deliver the i300 throughout the European Union (“EU”).
The ECWVTA requires a comprehensive set of certification systems governing vehicle safety, production conformity, environmental protection and energy efficiency. ECWVTA certification is regarded as one of the highest standards in the world for vehicle quality and reliability, and several countries outside the EU have adopted the ECWVTA certification system as a reference standard in their domestic vehicle regulations, including India.
Swin Chatsuwan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zapp EV, said: “Securing ECWVTA for i300 reflects our focus on the highest quality standard for Zapp’s first electric urban motorcycle and further validates the i300’s technologies, designs and production readiness. In addition to our rollout in Europe, this allows us to sell i300 in other countries that recognize EU certification, including importing up to 2,500 units per year to India from our Thailand reference micro-factory.”
David McIntyre, Chief Operating Officer of Zapp EV, added: “With this important milestone now achieved, we are activating long-standing plans to see i300 on the streets of Europe. We will start by converting existing reservations from customers. We also will begin appointing authorized resellers who have been patiently waiting with us on this journey, as well as developing our network of Zappers for delivery, service and after-sales support.”
About Zapp EV
Zapp EV (Nasdaq: ZAPP) and its operating subsidiaries are run by a team of experts from the mobility industry, on a mission to redefine the electric two-wheeler segment. Zapp's debut product, the i300, is an urban electric high-performance two-wheeler capable of traditional motorcycle levels of performance in a step-through format, combining ease of use with exhilaration and fun. The i300 is the first in a suite of high-performance electric two-wheelers that Zapp plans to bring to market. Zapp will offer a high-quality direct-to-customer experience known as DSDTC (drop-ship-direct-to-customer). Customers ordering the i300 online will have their bikes conveniently delivered to their home by authorised “Zappers,” who will provide at-home inspection, service and support throughout the vehicle ownership lifecycle.
