KAR Platform Details
KAR ESS The KAR ESS is the heart of the KAR Platform. The scalable ESS will feature thermal control and a self-contained enclosure with modular battery packs to allow for simple size and power variations. The largest version will provide 40 kWh of energy and deliver sports car performance and a real-world range of 120 -140 miles.
KAR PLATFORM The KAR PLATFORM incorporates a unitized controller/motor/drivetrain package mounted via rear subframe. The low profile ESS mounts under the floor of all body styles to provide a low center of gravity for responsive handling. Steering and front suspension are also incorporated into a modular subframe design. All three main sub-assemblies will be joined by a lightweight platform perimeter frame to comprise a complete rolling chassis.
KAR VEHICLE INTEGRATION The KAR Platform is intended to accept a variety of body units to create a full line of E vehicles : a 2 passenger coupe, a 4 passenger sedan, a utility vehicle with a compact pick-up bed, a panel van and a mini SUV are all possible options sharing the common platform. This modular design concept considerably reduces costs to market a full range of vehicle types suited to niche markets.
