Build your own or start a company to build cars at a budget price,.
Trexa have produced a chassis with all parts ready for the body and fittings with a base price of US$15,999
This is a good move as people buy cars now on the basis of how many cup holders they have, IE they really do not care about what's under the bonnet
It still has 1st generation lithium-powered batteries but if the price can be kept low the public might accept the limited ability of current electric cars
The standard platform is made from welded and bonded aluminum, carbon steel tubing and fiber-reinforced thermoplastics and will have an 80 inch wheelbase with a curb weight of 1,250 lb. The Trexa all-wheel drive platform should give 0-60mph in eight seconds, features programmable gearless 2-speed transmission that uses regenerative braking, has a top speed of 100mph and a range of 105 miles with 21kWh of lithium iron phosphate battery power installed. Recharge time is said to be four hours.
