About Elaris

Elaris is a German electric vehicle company headquartered in Grünstadt, Rhineland Palatinate, focused on offering affordable, practical, and well equipped EVs for the European market. Founded in 2020, Elaris operates primarily as a mobility integrator and brand developer, sourcing and co-developing electric vehicles with established Chinese manufacturers while tailoring them to European standards for safety, design, and connectivity. This partnership model allows the company to bring multiple vehicle types to market quickly, from compact cars to SUVs and light commercial vehicles.

Elaris's lineup includes models such as the Leo compact SUV, the Beo mid size SUV, the Pio city car, and the Finn micro EV, each positioned to provide modern design, solid range, and competitive pricing. These vehicles are based on proven platforms from Chinese partners including Dorcen, Skyworth, and SRM, but are rebranded and reengineered to comply with EU homologation and quality requirements. The brand's approach combines localized software and infotainment integration with battery and charging technologies suited for European infrastructure.

Elaris targets both private consumers and fleet operators seeking cost effective electrification solutions. Through collaborations with energy and mobility service providers, the company offers bundled leasing, charging, and telematics packages, positioning itself as a flexible, data driven mobility brand rather than a traditional automaker. The vehicles are assembled or adapted in Europe to ensure parts availability, serviceability, and adherence to EU sustainability standards.

By bridging Chinese manufacturing capacity with European quality and branding, Elaris exemplifies a new class of emerging EV companies focused on speed to market and value oriented innovation. Its diversified model lineup and agile business structure allow it to compete in the fast growing European mid market EV segment while supporting the region's broader transition to electric mobility.
