Real-World Testing with Special Purpose License

Issued on July 15, 2024, the SPL allows Scorpio Electric to validate the X1’s performance under real-world conditions. As part of the license, the LTA has provided a Research & Development license plate for the X1, which will be affixed to the vehicle during public road tests.
