DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form F-3 on Form S-3 (“Post-Effective Amendment”) relates to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 (File No. 333-257292) (the “Registration Statement”) filed by ElectraMeccanica Vehicles Corp., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (the “Company”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2021. The Registration Statement registered any combination of the securities described in the Registration Statement (including common shares, preferred shares, warrants and units) in one or more offerings up to an aggregate initial offering price of $750,000,000. The Company ceased to qualify as a “foreign private issuer,” as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of June 30, 2022. Accordingly, the Company is no longer a foreign private issuer and, as a result, is subject to the registration requirements applicable to a United States domestic registrant. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed by the Company to convert the Registration Statement into a Registration Statement on Form S-3 and to remove from registration any and all securities of the Company registered for issuance but remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.

Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 11, 2024, by and between the Company and Xos, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Xos”), Xos acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company by way of a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).

As a result of the Arrangement, by filing this Post-Effective Amendment, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, removes from registration any and all securities of the Company registered for issuance but remain unsold or otherwise unissued under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
