## About

Founded in 2023 and based in Michigan, US, Electric Outdoors, Inc. operates as the developer of a solar-powered off-grid charging system designed for tourers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The company was founded by its CEO, Josef Hjelmaker. In September 2024, Electric Outdoors, Inc. raised USD 1.3 million in seed funding led by Veolectra, Inc., including Michigan Rise and the Michigan Outdoor Innovation Fund.

The company’s primary product includes the EO Canopy, which is designed to offer EV owners the opportunity to camp in remote locations without worrying about running out of power. The EO Canopy serves as a business opportunity for landowners, enabling them to generate revenue by offering purpose-built camping spots for EV drivers. Through the EO App, campers can easily browse and book canopy-equipped locations, avoiding overcrowded campgrounds. The firm’s product caters to both adventurers seeking sustainable outdoor experiences and landowners looking to capitalize on the growing demand for EV-friendly destinations. Electric Outdoors’ partners include Fresh Coast, Ann Arbor Spark, Sun Outdoors, Veolectra, Shophouse Spark, and others.

The organization plans to use the September 2024 funding to hire more people, increase unit manufacturing, and conduct pilot testing in important markets.
