The Best New EV Is Tiny And Can Swap Batteries In 3 Minutes (jalopnik.com)
Almost all the mainstream EVs on the market are sleek, fast, high-tech-looking things with operating ranges of about 200 miles or more. And while all of those are desirable traits, they don’t really do you a hell of a lot of good when you’re crawling through city traffic at 27 mph or stuck at a charger for 45 minutes.
Sometimes the less obvious way can prove to be a better way, and I think this small German company, ACM, may have realized that with their charmingly industrial-looking little battery-swappable EV, the City One.
The City One is designed like a Japanese Kei-type “tall boy” small car—small exterior dimensions, with a tall, boxy body to maximize interior space. Adaptive City Mobility (ACM) designed the car (which is actually a bit bigger than Kei-class dimensions, at 141.7 inches long) to be a sort of multi-purpose, primarily city transportation tool, capable of being used as a taxi, shared-use car, small delivery van, and as a general passenger car.
