Since then, no news from NEVS almost did not arrive, however, recently it became known that Evergande Group bought a majority stake in the company.

Now Autocar reports that NEVS became the owner of a 20 percent stake in Swedish supercar manufacturer Koenigsegg and plans to buy another 45 percent, investing 130 million euros. Plans to manufacture electric cars based on the experience of the Koenigsegg. Koenigsegg will have the opportunity to use engineering and test centers NEVS in Trollhattan, Sweden.

The deal “will provide a reliable and sustainable future,” said Christian von Koenigsegg.
