We’re Nice.
Meet the team and learn about our Why.
Our passion for vintage vehicles and sustainable technology led us to create Nice. By bringing together the character of classic vehicles with modern electric technology, we're creating unique EVs that are both meaningful and sustainable.
Passenger cars make up the largest opportunity to decarbonize in the transportation sector.
But, new cars create new emissions. Manufacturing a new EV emits 80% more CO2 than converting a used vehicle to electric.
This is because remanufacturing vehicles and salvaging functional components leverages the value of existing objects. We believe in honoring things that already exist!
Our team has several decades of combined experience building consumer products at scale. We have expertise in the technology, automotive, and aerospace industries, and a track record for building award-winning, desirable brands.
And it shows: within one week of our test vehicle hitting the road, we were awarded with the prestigious Best SUV award at the Electrify Expo in Denver!
