What MIA GLOBAL does

MIA GLOBAL, Inc. is a privately held American electric-vehicle company founded in 2022 through the merger of European and Asian entities specializing in batteries, fuel cells, and non-fossil vehicles. The company was established to revive the iconic MIA ultra-compact electric passenger car and has since expanded into a wide product portfolio that includes the MIA CAR, ONE e-bike, Mia Golfy golf cart, MIA FORKLIFT, YoYo refrigerated four-wheeler delivery cart, Aqua MIA amphibious electric boat, Fuel Cell Cars and Trucks, and a limited Patriot series. Manufacturing and distribution are anchored in South Korea through the 100%-owned subsidiary DME TECH (acquired July 2023), with a European regional office in Besançon (France), a corporate headquarters at 845 Third Avenue, New York, and additional distribution in Oklahoma plus emerging-market activity in Kenya and Papua New Guinea. The company controls, but does not itself list on, public entity Alternet Systems, Inc. (USOTC: ALYI) following a 2024 closing.

The underlying technology stack centers on electric drivetrains with proprietary fuel cell range extender technology (claimed up to 676 km standard / 2,000 km single-charge autonomy), lithium-ion forklift battery systems with intelligent BMS power management, and a co-development program with Blue Rock Energy Technology on solid-state lithium batteries that eliminate liquid electrolytes to reduce overheating and crystallization risk. Hydrogen fuel cell stacks and stationary generators round out the energy portfolio for both transportation and building-power applications.

MIA Global's business model is hardware sales delivered through a hybrid channel mix: a network of importers, distributors, and dealers across the United States for commercial and recreational vehicles; direct-to-consumer e-commerce through its shop section for e-bikes and golf carts; the DME TECH distribution network historically serving ALSTOM, LJF, and Total Group; and emerging-market local assembly partnerships (notably Carbon Zero Mobility in Kenya for Dominion EV motorbikes shipped in knocked-down form). Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Customer segments span individual consumers (urban micromobility), commercial fleet operators (delivery and logistics), refrigerated delivery services (anchored by Korea Yakult's 4,000-unit YoYo cart deployment), warehouse and industrial operators (forklifts), and marine/recreational boaters. Reported unit volumes tied to predecessor and affiliated entities exceed 6,100 EVs sold and 5,600 vehicles on the road since 2010.
