The electric vehicle startup Canoo has chosen Panasonic cylindrical lithium-ion cells for its upcoming Lifestyle Vehicle, the company revealed on Monday. The Lifestyle Vehicle is expected to arrive in late 2022 and start at $34,750.<\/p>\n

The decision keeps with the trend to favor cylindrical cells<\/a> that we\u2019ve noted among virtually all startups and companies that build only EVs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cOur team is very focused on continuous optimization and creating IP in the areas of battery module technology, higher energy density and on a flexible thermal management platform that contributes to enhanced safety and lower cost of ownership,\u201d said chairman and CEO Tony Aquila, who pointed to Panasonic as \u201ca proven pioneer and world-class manufacturer of what we believe are one of the most durable electric vehicle batteries.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve covered in the past, Canoo looks poised to be one of the first EV makers with a structural integrated battery modules<\/a>. That’s a bit different than Tesla’s planned cell-to-pack structural battery<\/a>; it means Canoo will still be packing the cylindrical cells into modules, but then mounting those modules directly into the vehicle chassis.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canoo maintains that the approach brings class-leading specific energy, plus space savings and significant mass savings. The design of the battery compartment also allows future module-level repairs and upgrades, according to Canoo, perhaps allowing owners to get more use out of the vehicle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The first model incorporating all of this will be the Lifestyle Vehicle. After initially focusing on a subscription model, the company in May announced plans to sell the vehicle in three trims<\/a> ranging from $34,750 to $49,950. After that, the company has plans for a pickup truck<\/a> plus a delivery van<\/a>\u00a0called the Multi-Purpose Delivery Vehicle. Canoo previously disclosed a price of just $33,000 for the MPDV.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canoo says that the Lifestyle Vehicle will be made in the fourth quarter of 2022, and it\u2019s due to be contract manufactured in low volume by Netherlands-based NDL Nedcar for both the U.S. and the EU. That will precede a U.S. factory in Oklahoma<\/a>, overseen by the contract manufacturer, that will scale up production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
