These brick-and-mortar stores, operated by Simple Energy’s official network partners, are tailored to provide an experiential journey, where customers can engage with the brand’s offerings and values.
The stores will allow visitors to interact with the company’s flagship models—the Simple One and Simple Dot One—while experiencing the technological advancements and sustainability efforts that set Simple Energy apart in the competitive EV landscape
