The issue is that over half of the cities are paved for cars and traffic, for vehicles that are often left parked and rusting for 95% of their lives. Cars are necessary for humans to transport themselves in, but Mark’s point is that they are heavy, dangerous, and literally shape our cities around them. Smaller EVs that are the “” could not only clean our air but also help humanity reclaim its space while making cities much more livable for everyone.
“Whether you’re going to work, school, the movies, or to the park, we’re building everyday electric rides that serve as a replacement for the automotive paradigm. And the goal is multifold. Ultimately we want sustainable transportation to be affordable for everyone and when you build something that is much lighter and has much less embodied material, is much simpler, then that’s really the pathway to drive the cost down so that anyone can afford the solution.
Mark told me that the company build an entire family of products on the FUV platform, including a flatbed, which is Arcimoto’s version of a utility pickup truck. He shared that the people testing it have been loving it so far. Arcimoto also has an emergency services vehicle called the Rapid Responder that helps paramedics get to where they need to go quickly.
