Detroit startup Grounded raised $5M to scale its modular vehicle customization platform to include both electric and gas-powered vans, expanding its market beyond EVs amid challenges faced by EV manufacturers.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face a clearer path by supporting trucks that run both on electric and gas, as Grounded's platform now fits the fleet customers hesitant on EVs. Prepare to pivot from an EV-only play to a modular vehicle space provider working across fuel types.
