SEA Electric SEA 500 EV SEA-Drive 250-62

CAUTIONARY RECORD - the manufacturer is gone. Track the corporate chain carefully because it is easy to get wrong: SEA Electric was founded in Australia in 2012 around its own SEA-Drive power system; it launched the SEA 300 EV and SEA 500 EV in March 2021 as Australia's first locally assembled electric trucks, built from OEM semi-knocked-down glider kits and sold through 15 Australian dealerships; it relocated its centre of gravity to the United States; it was acquired by the Canadian firm Exro Technologies in January 2024. Exro then announced an orderly wind-down of the Australia-based subsidiary in its Q1 2025 results and completed the Asia-Pacific wind-down while retaining IP; on 31 October 2025 Exro's US subsidiaries including SEA Electric, Inc. and SEA Electric, LLC filed Chapter 7, and Exro consented to a receiver in Canada under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Court proceedings in Alberta were still running in February 2026. sea-electric.com returns no site as of 2026-08-28. SEA 500 specification as launched: 4x2 or 6x2, GVM 15,000-22,500 kg, maximum body length 9,240 mm. Three SEA-Drive power-system options - 120-35 (138 kWh), 180-35 (220 kWh) and 250-62 (248 kWh) - with maximum torque 3,500 Nm on the two smaller systems and 6,200 Nm on the 250-62, and maximum power 350 kW rising to 440 kW on the 250-62. The top model, the SEA 500-225, is the 6x2 at 22,500 kg GVM and was offered with a range-topping 280 kWh pack. The smaller SEA 300 EV (4.5-8.5 t GVM class) is deliberately NOT given its own record - it falls below the N3 threshold this catalogue covers. SEA also fitted SEA-Drive systems to Hino and Isuzu gliders and worked on Class 8 applications in the US, but no Class 8 SEA-badged production vehicle was confirmed. Battery chemistry, charging power, connector and GCW are all unrecoverable. Image coverage is thin and comes entirely from Australian trade press archives, because the manufacturer's media library went offline with the company. The three verified files show a SEA 500 EV cab-chassis (identifiable by the 'SEA500 EV' number plate) and a SEA-Drive charge port. No rear or side-profile shot could be found.
