CONSENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors
Electrameccanica Vehicles Corp.
We consent to the use of our report dated March 25, 2020, with respect to the consolidated statements of financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2019, and the related notes (collectively, the “consolidated financial statements”), incorporated herein by reference and to the reference to our firm under the heading “Experts” in the Registration Statement on Form F-3.
Our report dated March 25, 2020 contains an explanatory paragraph that states that the Company’s principal activity, the development and manufacture of electric vehicles, is in the development stage and the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations which raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Our report refers to a change in the accounting policy for leases as of January 1, 2019 due to the adoption of IFRS 16 – Leases.
