CHICAGO, March 13, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- 2050 Motors, Inc. (US OTC: ETFM) is pleased to announce Ted Flomenhaft, CEO and Owner of EDGE FiberNet (https://edgefibernet.com/), as the second member of its recently-formed Advisory Board. Mr. Flomenhaft is an experienced communications and finance executive with substantial experience building emerging growth technology companies. His working relationships with multi-billion-dollar revenue companies in the technology field targeting the substantial, high-growth power over ethernet and light emitting diode (PoE / LED) industry, illustrate a market opportunity for 2050 that provides potential upside to the Company’s stand-alone electric vehicle (EV) business plan.
Said Ted Flomenhaft of EDGE:
EDGE FiberNet, Inc. shares 2050, Inc.’s dedication to carbon-neutrality by 2050, individual health, happiness, fun and making the world a better place. Altogether, transportation, heating, cooling and lighting consume 57% of global energy resources and directly impact the planet’s health and wellness. EDGE is an established provider of technical services in the areas of Internet, phone, energy efficient lighting and HVAC technologies such as PoE LED lighting and VRF HVAC systems. We have immediate plans to use, promote and support electric vehicles in the Northeast United States and have identified 4,000 square feet of space in our NYC headquarters to use as a showroom for 2050 EV product distribution. We’re excited to support 2050’s goals in the areas of efficient business operations, technical excellence, product affordability, supply-chain efficiency, market awareness and owner-experience. We look forward to building a business like 2050 leveraged to the high growth markets of electric vehicles, lighting and technology.
Said Vik Grover, CEO of 2050
Ted and I have worked on technology projects for roughly 20 years. We have been discussing and analyzing multiple opportunities in the PoE, LED and IoT (Internet of things) markets. In the future, and certainly by the year 2050 (http://www.zeroemissions2050.org/), we will live in a world of smart cities that have connectivity to all devices, including electric vehicles, indoor and outdoor lighting infrastructure, and anything that can have a network connection. I believe Ted’s experience and knowledge will be invaluable to 2050 as the Company attempts to grow its business. To this end, 2050 is no longer just an EV company since it intends to target PoE LED lighting, IoT, and Smart Cities.
