Canoo's 1st electric vehicle is coming in 2021, but it has been revealed in Los Angeles this week
When Canoo’s first vehicle, itself known as Canoo comes to market in 2021, it won’t be competing directly with the likes of Tesla, or Audi or Porsche. There won’t be any Canoo dealers. In fact, you won’t even be able to buy a Canoo.Canoo will be exclusively offered through a subscription model. No long term commitments, just one flat monthly price to drive a vehicle.
Another way that Canoo differs from Tesla and other EV builders is the vehicle itself. The Canoo is not a sleek, high-performance machine meant to challenge the Porsche Taycan or Model S on the Nurburgring. Instead it is a slick monobox machine meant to capitalize on the packaging advantages offered by an electric skateboard chassis. It looks like a giant lozenge on wheels.The skateboard concept is nothing new, going back nearly 20 years to the GM Autonomy concept of 2001.
Since Canoo has packaged all the major hardware in the skateboard, they have been able to expand the passenger cabin to the ends of the body. The short version of the Ford is only available as a cargo van with 168 cubic feet of total interior volume including just two front seats. Canoo has managed to squeeze in 188.1 cubic feet for seven passengers and 15.4 cubic feet of cargo space in the back.
