Default Another new Electric Truck revealed today - CANOO

Canoo: Electric Lifestyle, Sport and Working Vehicles

Their "minivan" will be only available in "one color, with endless wraps".


Here is the pickup, (second pic is with a camper shell). I like both of these pics.

The EV will be available with either a single- or dual-motor configuration, according to a press release. The latter setup will offer all-wheel drive and will deliver 600 horsepower, 550 ft lbs of instant torque and tow a payload of up to 1,800 pounds. Range is fine, if not spectacular, at 200 miles per charge, ( listed on their website as 28 minutes for 80%?). At 15.3 feet in length, Canoo’s pickup should offer more precise control than its larger peers (the Cybertruck is 19.25 feet long, while the Hummer EV is 18 feet long)

They are prob one of the few willing to afford it too. Not sure why every electric vehicle has to be priced so high. And 200mi range is laughable in a state ad large as mine. Wouldn't even get me from home to my favorite mountain biking area lol

200 mile range, sounds about like my truck.... Although what happens to that range when it's towing max capacity, or driving in mountains most of the trip?

I can see the VW thing. If you went through and saw that van, that thing is hideous. I'll bet some hipsters are gonna buy it, just because "they have all those choices in wraps, and can change em out all the time".

This is also 20" shorter than my 02 reg cab, almost a foot shorter than a regular cab colorado. They had to put that roof rack on it, because that bed has to be tiny. Functionally its more like the jeep or hummer pickups in electric.

Being that short with that limited range I feel it would make a great lawn buggy or oversized golf cart.
