Car was Marc’s first word. While Marc obsessed about classic cars as a kid, he got his first taste of the EV world upon entering Cornell University and joining their hybrid electric vehicle team. Marc saw the Austin Texas growth as a tech hub and transitioned from engineer to tech recruiter, starting and growing Hirestarter, one of Austin’s most prestigious high tech recruiting firms over the course of 15 years, all while building and customizing cars and researching automotive innovation on the side. In 2017, after years of calling it a hobby, founder Marc Davis finally put the pedal to the floor on Moment Motor Company. Marc and his small team of engineers, machinists, fabricators and product specialists transform vintage head-turners into modern electric cars, giving customers all the thrill of driving a beautiful classic with none of the hassle of their decades-old drivetrains. Moment replaces old gasoline burning engines with clean and powerful electric motors that still preserve the classic driving experience but are even more enjoyable to drive. Using their Modular Motor and Battery Enclosure Systems, Moment has transformed vintage cars from Porsche, BMW, Alfa Romeo, Datsun, Mini, DeLorean and more. As electric vehicles shepherd personal transportation into a futuristic new world, Moment lets these timeless automotive designs keep pace by bringing a new heart to their old souls. Marc loves diving deep into classic automobiles and working through the unique technical challenges of "electrifying" them, but his true passion is witnessing the big smiles of the drivers as they experience a beautifully anachronistic Moment for the first time.
