Canoo: A Bauhaus Inspired, Subscription-Based Electric Vehicle
Would you ditch owning a car to "subscribe" to an all-in-one monthly fee EV that includes maintenance, insurance, and registration"
With an approximate range of 250 miles per charge and a fast charging system capable of reaching 80% charge in less than 30 minutes, Los Angeles-based electric vehicle maker Canoo is hoping to convince car owners to ditch their gas-operated vehicles for a monthly subscription-based, seven seat electric-powered vehicle engineered to offer the spacious comforts of a SUV with the compact footprint of a compact car.

The blunt-nosed, pill bug-shaped exterior conceived by BMW and Faraday Future alum Richard Kim has the appearance of a vehicle that could drive one way or the other, with dimensions prioritizing optimal interior space. The emphasis upon a low stance, high-mounted cabin also mirrors Kim’s previous work for the BMW i3 (and to a lesser extent, the aggressively low i8), enveloping riders in glass and with large uninterrupted surfaces to optimize view and extend perceptible space.
At the heart of Canoo’s plans are a monthly subscription model purporting to offer everything one might need from a daily driver affordably (price TBD), covering services such as registration, maintenance, insurance management, and charging in a single price (all reviewable by app, of course.)
…we came up with this loft-inspired vehicle. We implemented the Bauhaus philosophy, which is centered around minimalism and fun...
