The story of how Canoo EV Is Rethinking Cars
It feels like each time we blink recently, another startup is hoping to break into the auto industry with an electric vehicle. Some achieve a level of success like Tesla and manage to hang in and grow sales, if not
profits. Most arrive with hyperbolic plans and flame out spectacularly before ever delivering a product like Faraday Future. One of the more interesting entries was spawned by a group of executives and engineers that fled Faraday as the apparent death spiral was picking up steam in late 2017 and makes its public debut this week as Canoo.
The electric automotive startup which is based in California has expanded its lineup of forthcoming electric vehicles by revealing this snub-nosed pickup. The pickup, which sports a design similar to Canoo's passenger van, will offer more than 200 miles of range and as much as 600 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque with the dual-motor configuration; a rear motor configuration will also be offered. That power and range, and a full six-to-eight-foot pickup bed, all have to fit into a vehicle with a 112.2-inch wheelbase—an inch shorter than the Tesla Model 3—and an overall length, at 184 inches, that makes it more than two feet shorter than the Ford Ranger pickup. In this video, we will take a look at How Canoo EV Is Rethinking Cars.
