SEMA 2023 Issues Inaugural Best Engineered Vehicle Award To \u201923 Cobra Venom By Scorpion EV<\/b><\/p>\n

Announced in mid-September 2023, the\u00a0Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) put forward a special new award to recognize a featured vehicle at the 2023 SEMA Show that showcases exceptional engineering. The SEMA \u201cBest Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award\u201d honors and celebrates a build that demonstrates quality engineering throughout the entire vehicle, or an aspect of the vehicle that goes beyond just physical appearance.<\/p>\n

The first ever SEMA \u201cBest Engineered Vehicle of the Year Award\u201d goes to? \u2026 the\u00a0\u201923 Cobra Venom by Scorpion EV<\/a>.<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cVenom\u201d is an electric vehicle (EV) conversion car designed to demonstrate the ease with which internal combustion engine vehicles can be converted to electric power. The car showcases Scorpion EV\u2019s Venom EV conversion kit, which solves the challenges related to EV conversions by providing the DIY builder with a complete, turnkey solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a small company with a passion for EVs and one that\u2019s pushing the envelope for this rapidly growing sector of the market, the Team at Scorpion EV is very proud to be creating a product that can be used by the very core of our industry, which is the DIY builders, shop owners and guy or girl working in their garage at home,\u201d said Karen Salvaggio of Scorpion EV. \u201cThis award is a recognition of the power of a team who believe in dreaming, designing and truly building the future! When you look around the Show and witness all of the incredible builds and envelope-pushing designs gracing these halls, just to be nominated for the Best Engineered Vehicle Award is a true honor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
