EVs Are A Thing Of The Past

No Power?
No Problem.

Power outages are a reality of Jamaican life: unplanned, unpredictable, and never convenient. A pure EV in that environment is a liability. The Forthing Friday is a REEV — a Range Extended Electric Vehicle that runs on both gas and electricity. When the grid or solar fails, the Friday doesn't.

When the lights go off

Power cut? Hurricane season? No problem. The Friday's 1.5L petrol engine kicks in automatically. No waiting, no searching for a charger, no anxiety.

Fill up anywhere

43L fuel tank + up to 1,150 km combined range. Every petrol station in Jamaica becomes your safety net. You will never be stranded.

Smarter than a pure EV

Charge at home for the daily commute. Switch to petrol when you need the distance. All the smoothness of electric driving, none of the risk.

One Charge. One Tank.
The Whole Island.

1,150 km of combined range is hard to picture — so here it is, on the only map that matters.

~180 km

To the north coast and back on battery alone — without burning a drop of petrol.
