Innovative water taxi service E-lixr has announced the launch of its pilot program in Miami. The program is designed to test the operational efficiency of its electric water taxis, gather customer feedback, and demonstrate the environmental benefits of switching to electric marine propulsion.
In addition to the pilot, E-lixr will be participating in key technology events, San Francisco Tech Week and LA Tech Week, while also conducting an investor roadshow as part of its capital raise to support future growth and expansion.
Miami Pilot Program Launch
The Miami pilot program marks a significant step forward for E-lixr as the company aims to showcase the viability of electric water taxis as a sustainable alternative to traditional vehicular transport in congested urban areas. Metrics for success include the number of trips taken, passenger volume, and the effectiveness of scheduling and routes.
“Customer feedback will be integral in iterating our service offering. It will influence everything from the scheduling and routing of the taxis to the onboard amenities and the functionality of the booking app. Continuous interaction through surveys and direct feedback channels will help us tailor the service to better meet the needs of our users.” says co-founder Nathalie Paiva.
The program will also monitor emissions reductions and energy savings, demonstrating the environmental benefits of electric propulsion compared to traditional watercraft. Interested Miami residents, commuters, and tourists can sign up via the E-lixr website or directly book a ride once the service is operational.
Showcasing Marine Electrification at San Francisco and LA Tech Week
E-lixr will also participate in San Francisco Tech Week (October 14-18) and LA Tech Week (October 21-25). These events offer an opportunity to showcase E-lixr’s solution to a broader audience of investors, industry professionals, and sustainability advocates. San Francisco, known for its tech-forward community and progressive green policies, and Los Angeles, which grapples with traffic congestion and pollution, are ideal venues for promoting urban marine electrification.
E-lixr’s team will engage in panels focused on sustainable transportation, urban mobility solutions, and innovations in marine electrification. The company will also host a booth at both events, where attendees can learn more about the technology and explore potential partnerships. By offering live demonstrations and showcasing data from pilot studies, E-lixr will highlight the scalability of their service across other urban waterways nationally and their strong commitment to sustainability and reducing urban congestion and pollution.
Investor Roadshow and Capital Raise
In conjunction with the pilot launch E-lixr is launching an investor roadshow to support its capital raise. The company is targeting a raise of $1.5 million, “The funds will be allocated towards scaling our fleet of electric water taxis, expanding operational infrastructure, enhancing our technology platform, and conducting further R&D into advanced marine propulsion technologies”, explains Founder & CEO, Sam Payrovi.
The capital will also allow E-lixr to increase the number of water taxis in operation, expand docking and charging infrastructure, and refine the technology platform to improve customer experience and operational efficiency. E-lixr is targeting investors who are aligned with the company’s mission to promote sustainability and innovation in urban mobility, including venture capital firms, private equity investors, and individuals focused on green technology.
The rising demand for sustainable alternatives in urban mobility makes E-lixr’s offering highly attractive to investors, “We project robust growth in ridership and operational cities over the next five years. The capital raise will enable us to expand our fleet and operational scope, streamline our technology for global scalability, and solidify our position as leaders in urban marine electrification.”
