\u201cIt\u2019s no longer a question of whether America will go EV \u2014 but when. Our line-up is future-forward and succeeds where others have struggled: Giving people the EV that works smarter for them at a price that can work for their budgets. That\u2019s why we are designing for flexible use cases and focused on productivity solutions,\u201d said Tony Aquila, Chairman & CEO Canoo Inc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are designing for people who work hard, play hard and need something reliable, that will last and give you value. We\u2019re for the 99% not the 1%. Our vehicle line-up is built for the backbone of America \u2013 to give you value so you can work smarter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portfolio includes vehicles for work and play<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Canoo vehicles that can now be reserved break down into three categories: Lifestyle, MDPV and Pickup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company revealed the Lifestyle vehicle will be the first of the three<\/a><\/u><\/strong> to hit the marketplace sometime in 2022. The price ranges between $35,000 to $50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is designed to be cabin forward to maximize interior space and function, with exportable power and customization options \u2014 all on a small footprint. It will come standard with multiple car seat anchor points and have enough space for five.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nascent EV maker Canoo is the latest company to get into the electric delivery van segment with its new MPDV.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

It will have an interior volume of just over 188 cubic feet, which is about the same as a large SUV, while the vehicle\u2019s overall footprint and length will be in line with that of a Prius. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its electric drivetrain puts out 300 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of peak motor torque and 250 miles of battery range. Final pricing will be announced in the new few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small business vehicle also coming<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The MDPV is designed to be used by a wide range of commercial customers<\/a><\/u><\/strong>, including small businesses, fleets and last-mile delivery companies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It offers efficiency and class-leading cargo volumes, which will help businesses to reinvest and thrive, officials claim.\u2008This is meant to make delivery vehicle a great option for independent contractors, tradespeople, utilities and service technicians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bi-directional onboard charging maximizes functionality and turns the vehicle into a power plant for equipment and tools that can be powered up even at remote destinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Canoo
Canoo didn’t want to be left out of the massive pickup truck segment, offing this unnamed and unusual offering.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vehicle\u2019s design is meant to accommodate workstations to store and access a variety of devices, products and equipment. Depending on the configuration, anticipated specifications include up to 200 hp and 236 lb-ft of peak motor torque with up to 250 miles of battery range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hot pickup truck market not forgotten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

And no car company EV or otherwise can get along in the U.S. market without a pickup truck. The Canoo truck, like its stablemates, is fully electric with a cabin-forward design as well as steer-by-wire technology and proprietary multi-purpose platform architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The truck will also have an extendable flatbed designed<\/a><\/u><\/strong> to compete with other pickup trucks on a smaller footprint. This will make it easier to maneuver and more convenient to drive. These are important features for people who will use the truck for things like work on construction sites. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will also have exportable power, advanced exterior lighting, fold-down worktable and cargo storage, flip-down side tables, side step and storage, an extendable bed with space dividers and multi-accessory charge port.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specs include dual or rear motor configurations, with 500-plus hp and 550 lb.-ft. of torque with dual motors, vehicle payload capacity of 1800 pounds and at least 200 miles of battery range.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
