Located at 2137 Savannah Highway in West Ashley, Bintelli manufactures and distributes mopeds, scooters, golf carts and more than 40 customizable electric vehicles. Products include electric golf carts, electric shuttles, street-legal golf carts, low-speed vehicles and Americans with Disabilities Act-compatible shuttles, the company said in a news release.

Bintelli’s last expansion in 2018 allowed the company to triple the production of its electric vehicle manufacturing, Bintelli President Justin Jackrel said. Over the past few years, the company has continuously seen upward growth.

“Even with tripling our staff size, we still can’t keep up with the demand for our Bintelli Beyond and Bintelli Nemesis lines of electric vehicles,” Jackrel said in a statement. “2022 is set to be another record-breaking year for us at Bintelli, and I’m so excited we get to share all of the success with our entire Bintelli family.”

Bintelli’s expansion will include adding square footage to the company’s current facility. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the spring.

“Bintelli LLC’s latest expansion signals yet another vote of confidence by this great company in Charleston County and our state. With a focus on electric mobility and sustainability, Bintelli LLC is one of our state’s leading innovators, and we are proud of the success they have found here,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey said in a statement.

Bintelli relocated from Florida to Charleston in 2015 and previously expanded in November 2018 with a $2.9 million investment to build its new West Ashley headquarters and retail showroom. Products are distributed from the Lowcountry to dealerships and retail outlets nationwide.
