Arcimoto Now Accepting Vehicle Reservations From Customers In Arizona

Arizona deliveries expected to begin in Q1 2022

EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 17, 2021 – Arcimoto, Inc.® (NASDAQ: FUV), makers of fun, affordable, and ultra-efficient electric vehicles for everyday drivers and fleets, today announced that it is now accepting vehicle reservations from customers in Arizona, the sixth state in Arcimoto’s nationwide expansion plan.

Today, Arcimoto began reaching out to Arizona preorder customers with the opportunity to reserve an Arcimoto. First Arizona vehicle deliveries are anticipated to begin in Q1 2022. To make a reservation, please visit https://www.arcimoto.com/order-now.

“We are thrilled to introduce Arcimoto vehicles to Arizona, which has long been one of our most popular states for overall preorders,” said Arcimoto Founder and CEO, Mark Frohnmayer. “From Scottsdale to Sedona and the Grand Canyon to Havasu Falls, Arizona is an ideal market for both everyday drivers and tourist rentals. To all of our longtime, loyal Arizona preorder customers, thank you so much for your patience. The wait for Arcimoto in Arizona is over.”

Arcimoto vehicles are currently available for reservation by residents of Arizona, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, and Florida. Customers outside of these states can place a $100 refundable preorder to save their place in line.
