While consumer EVs are where the fun is,
fleet and business EVs will do a lot to reduce carbon emissions and when done
correctly will actually save companies money, since EVs require less
maintenance to keep on the road. Electric-vehicle startup Canoo is targeting
that demographic as it unveils its upcoming delivery vehicle lineup.
The startup is offering two
different variants of its futuristic-looking electric vans, which will be
priced starting at $33,000. The MPDV1, about the same overall length as the Kia
Niro but about seven inches wider, has 200 cubic feet of cargo space. The
taller MPDV2, roughly the same overall length as a Honda Odyssey but about
eight inches wider, will have 450 cubic feet of space. Both will be powered by
a single motor on the front axle outputting 200 horsepower and 236 pound-feet
of torque. The MPDV1 will be outfitted with battery packs from 40.0 kWh to 80.0
kWh with EPA estimated ranges from 130 to 230 miles. The MPDV2 will get the
same pack sizes, but with EPA estimated ranges from 90 miles to 190 miles
likely due to the increased size of this vehicle.
