Greetings from Trollhattan. I'm Emily, but I'm not a Saab.

Greetings from Trollhattan. I'm Emily, but I'm not a Saab.



What’s Swedish for “never give up”? Saab, apparently.

The fondly-remembered car company formerly called just that — and now named NEVS — is only a shell, employing just a limited crew in the land of trolls. But it’s got something to sell, and that something seems like it's really something.

It’s called Emily.

The Emily GT exists as six prototype electric cars, according to NEVS, with a combined horsepower rating (per car) of 484 powered by an enormous 175-kilowatt lithium-ion battery that’s good for 600 miles of range.

In development almost since Saab's demise — the company, once owned by General Motors, was closed down in 2010 — the Emily is a very real product and needs a real sponsor, according to NEVS CEO Nina Selander, speaking to Carup.
