We’re reimagining the road trip experience to drive toward a more sustainable future. Since 2020, with the support of HSBC Innovation Banking, we’ve been on a mission to build the first purpose-built, all-electric RV. HSBC visited our Colorado manufacturing facility and spoke with some of our leaders who are helping bring the Lightship L1, our first product, to life: Rory Marsh, head of finance and business, Hayley Cashdollar, head of operations, Ben Parker, Chief Product Officer, and Toby Kraus, CEO. We’re honored to be featured as their main campaign during NY Climate Week as we continue to lead the way as a future-focused climate tech company. Watch the story HSBC shared here: https://lnkd.in/gdAR3_Gt And for those of you attending Climate Week NYC → Keep an eye on your Uber app and you might just see a cameo of the Lightship L1.
