According to Isigwe, the electric vehicle was manufactured at IVM's cutting-edge production facility in Nnewi, Anambra State, representing a significant step forward in the country's automotive sector.
He stated, "I just test drove the first Innoson electric vehicle produced in Nnewi. "We are just getting started."
Osigwe stated that this is IVM's first foray into electric vehicle production, but the pricing, number of units produced, and commercial release date were not disclosed.
He did, however, claim that the initial batch of IVM electric cars had sold out completely.

"The first set which are few in numbers are now currently sold out."
