Everything Electric: Daymak Spiritus EV Is Happy to Be Different
The Daymak Spiritus EV is a three-wheeled, affordable, and very unique vehicle that has stirred up a lot of interest.
It has been a long journey, but the Daymark Spiritus EV has arrived. Well, almost. Canadian company Daymak’s Avvenire just unveiled the first prototype of the Spiritus LEV (Light Electric Vehicle). The three-wheeled Daymak Spritus is decidedly different, and brings new energy to the e-mobility market.
With 25,000 pre-orders already under its belt, the Daymak Spiritus is intriguing. It doesn’t look like –or drive like — anything else on the road; built with a performance that is meant to thrill.
Offered in two trims, the Spiritus Deluxe and Spiritus Ultimate starts at a price of $19,995. Focused on delivering a cool, cutting-edge vehicle that people can actually afford, the Spiritus is the world’s fastest three-wheeled vehicle. The Ultimate version hits top speeds of 130 mph and sprints 0-60 mph in 1.8 seconds. And the Deluxe hits a top speed of 85 mph and 180 miles of range per charge.
But will drivers embrace this very modern, three-wheel electric ride? It appears that the answer so far is yes.
We love the dedication to cutting-edge technology at the heart of the Spiritus. Introducing such a different EV seems much less of a risk with the reasonable price point. Daymak has spent years developing the Spiritus, and we can’t wait to see more.

The 2021 Rebelle Rally wrapped up this week, and it was a big win for Jeep. Jeep Wrangler 4xe models placed first and second in the 4×4 Class. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe combines a 2.0L turbocharged engine with an electric motor and regenerative braking, along with all of the capabilities that Jeep is famous for. A third Jeep Wrangler rounded out the top three, making for an all-Jeep podium.
The Electrified entries this year included not only three Wrangler 4xe vehicles but also a Rivian R1T, Volkswagen ID.4, and two Kia Sorento PHEVs. The vehicles were charged on the rally via hydrogen power supplied by Renewable Innovations’ Mobile Energy Command.
But it was Jeep that simply dominated.
“The course was more challenging than ever this year, but the Wrangler 4xe made it easy,” said driver Nena Barlow of Team 4xEventure. “We torqued up dunes and rock-crawled mountains and washes with ease and efficiency. Not to mention, we never lacked for range or power.”
Jeep and all the electric vehicles showed amazing capability. Another amazing Rebelle Rally, with green mobility showing up and showing off.
