US (CA): Nature's Miracle to create EV-based mobile vertical farms

Nature's Miracle Holding Inc. announced that it has entered into an agreement to purchase five EV trucks from ZO Motors North America, LLC. This purchase is expected to be fulfilled by the 2nd quarter of 2025 and will be financed through the State of California electric vehicle rebate program.

Nature's Miracle will modify these EVs into Mobile Vertical Farming trucks where microgreens and herbs can be grown inside. The EV-based Mobile Vertical Farm may also qualify for USDA subsidies and financing. Nature's Miracle is expected to receive up to 100 of these EVs by the end of 2025.

The Mobile Vertical Farm will be launched and deployed in the Los Angeles, CA market in the second quarter of 2025. Each truck, powered entirely by electricity, has an 11,000-pound payload and features a box size similar to a 20-foot container. Nature's Miracle will install hydroponic growing equipment inside the truck's box to cultivate microgreens and herbs. Each Mobile Vertical Farm can grow about 3,000 pounds of fresh microgreens and herbs, meeting the fresh salad needs of up to 40 people annually.

In addition to utilizing environmentally friendly EV technology and saving up to 90% of water for growing, these Mobile Vertical Farms can deliver a fresh and affordable supply of vegetables to consumers and businesses right at their doorsteps.
