Phoenix Cars LLC, d.b.a. Phoenix Motorcars, is a developer of zero emission, all-electric vehicles (EV) based in Anaheim, California,[5] United States, focused on the deployment of light- and medium-duty EVs into the fleet and transit markets.[6] The company was founded in 2002 and became a wholly owned subsidiary of Al Yousuf LLC in 2009 and of EdisonFuture in 2020. Phoenix launched its all-electric 14-22 passenger shuttle bus with 100 mile range per charge in 2013. The bus is based on the versatile Ford E350/450 Series vehicle.[7]
In November 2023, Phoenix acquired the electric transit bus division (see Proterra ZX5) and associated battery leases of bankrupt bus company Proterra for $10M; Volvo bought the battery business proper.[8][9]
