Dear Mr. Hanchett,

In connection with the Regulation A offering circular concerning 3,033,981 Class A shares of common stock for Atlis Motor Vehicles, Inc, (“the Company”) filed May 4, 2020, and as amended on June 5, June 26, July 15, August 11, and August 26, 2020, please accept this letter as my opinion under the laws of the United States of America and the State of Delaware as to the legality of the securities covered by the Offering Circular.

Based upon my review of the Company’s financial situation and Offering Circular and pre-qualification amendments, it is my opinion that under the laws of the State of Delaware that the Class A shares of common stock offered will, when sold, be legally issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. I consent to the filing of this legality opinion as an exhibit to the Company’s Regulation A offering statement and consent to being named as legal counsel in the Offering Circular.

Sincerely,
