The project had grant funding from the Shell Foundation and was meant to test a locally integrated e-moto platform, modular batteries, and distributed EV charging; Also said it completed only 'some early-stage work' and refocused on its core e-bike and autonomous-vehicle roadmap. The Shell Foundation said the grant will follow the project, while Also declined to give specifics. Why: For startup founders, the concrete detail is grant continuity: Also exited after early-stage work but said Shell Foundation funding would follow the project, so if you take pilot grant money, decide up front who owns or continues the work if you walk away.
