Harbinger is a privately held firm located in Garden Grove, California that focuses on producing chassis for medium-duty electric and hybrid vehicles. Established in July 2021 by John Harris, Phillip Weicker, and Will Eberts, the company swiftly transitioned from initial research and development to establishing a market footprint.
Following a year dedicated to R&D, Harbinger revealed an alpha version of its product just before the 2022 Detroit Auto Show and soon progressed to a beta testing stage. The company successfully raised $100 million through angel investors and Series A funding, then announced an additional $100 million in Series B financing in January 2025. In October 2024, Harbinger presented a prototype hybrid recreational vehicle created in collaboration with Thor Industries. By early 2025, the company had manufactured 100 chassis units for both commercial and recreational vehicle applications, solidifying its role as a significant contender in the medium-duty electric vehicle sector.

Its motor, gearbox, and inverter are combined into a single integrated module. Harbinger’s manufacturing operations are based in Garden Grove, California.
