Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, ECP Environmental Growth Opportunities Corp. (the “Company”), we submit this letter setting forth the responses of the Company to the comments provided by the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) in its comment letter dated January 6, 2022 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to Amendment No. 4 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission by the Company on December 27, 2021. Concurrently with the filing of this letter, the Company has filed Amendment No. 5 to the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) through EDGAR.

For your convenience, we have set forth each comment of the Staff from the Comment Letter in bold type below followed by the Company’s response thereto. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Statement.

Amendment No. 4 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed December 27, 2021

The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Merger, page 92

 

  1.

We note your response to prior comment 5 and the cross-reference in the last sentence of this risk factor. Please revise to disclose why qualification of the merger as a reorganization is uncertain.

Response: In response to the Staff’s comment, DLA Piper LLP (US) has delivered an opinion to Fast Radius that under the U.S. federal income tax laws in effect as of the date of the opinion, the Merger will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and the Company has revised pages 16, 93 and 288-290 of the Registration Statement accordingly.
