The TESLA of Vans(?) FIRST DRIVE! The

This video has been done with the support of Canoo and is all taken at face value and incorporating my real lived (all be it brief) experience with both the vehicle and the people of Canoo. My impression that this is the Tesla of Vans is based on the way that Tesla changed the landscape for electric cars. My feeling this has the potential to do the same for Vans...
The feedback has been honestly given and well received. They are clear that some things have to change ahead of a UK launch. Their model allows for this and has been evidenced by the way they have won accounts in the US. Not least the United States Postal Service!
Realistically this vehicle will be available in 2025 but given the quality of the drive many people may be asking for this sooner rather than later!
Great range and charging speed as standard also with a high level of configurability which is due to their aim being to be an extension of your business!
Watch this space for more on Canoo as they build a platform from which to launch here in the UK.

Love this. Hope the company makes it. C’mon Apple, chuck some money at it!

Unfortunately a significant margin of their budget is blown on their CEO's salary. They are trying to survive by getting government contractual orders because Canoo is corrupt and mismanaged. Which is unfortunate, because the concept is solid.

@@JEP-Tech ... uninformed statement. CEO Tony has invested over $400 million in this company, don't you think he's got some perks coming?

[@JEP-Tech]

@@ArizonaPoet No, you don't get "perks" when your company is a start up and is solidly in the red. He's a billionaire, he wants to fly in his private plane, he should be paying that out of his own pocket until they actually make money or fly commercial like anyone else does. Walmart is one of the largest and most profitable publicly traded companies and doesn't even pay for the pens that corporate officers use in meetings. Companies don't make money buy paying their CEO's "perks" for not making the company any money. This shows that the company is mismanaging funds and not doing everything possible to maximize their return on investment.

The cab is unique. Visibility is excellent. Passenger side window is helpful for safe turning at intersections. What I need is an empty long wheel base van to create a job specific gear hauler that you can sleep in and make breakfast. Gear will include, Fully assembled bicycles, alpine climbing gear, kayaks and paddle boards. D ring tie downs inside plus roof rails and cross bars to secure a variety of loads are also essential. Looking forward to a test drive when you have the vehicle I’m looking for ; )

[@xxwookey]

The configurability bodes very well for campervans. The 190 looks like it might actually be big enough (unlike the SWB Buzz which really is a bit too tiddly (like this 130 size) at 3.8m3. the 4.8m3 is only slightly smaller than a SWB vivaro B (5.2) for example. The drive-by-wire and all that unconstrained space should make for some really interesting possibilities. Like what do we do with all that front-space? 'Storage' seems like a good start. 80kWh is bigger than the SWB buzz and PSA vans, but smaller than the Buz LWB. So depends on efficiency of drivetrain and aero for how that compares on real-world range. I look forward to some Bjorn tests. Was there any mention of V2G? This is important for campers which spend a lot of time on the drive. And of course when will it actually arrive and what sort of price? I hope that Cannoo's attitude to configurable hardware and making things their customers actually want extends to software configuarability. How are they to deal with in terms of changing stuff (or even better letting us change stuff ourselves in order to add camping-mode functions that they probably haven't bothered with yet)? I'm guessing we'll have to wait at least another year before this thing actually turns up?

[@electricvanman]

Yes probably a year for full UK entry and then maybe a little longer before wider availability for Camper style conversions. That said when they come there is V2G capability so there should plenty of options on that front.

[@xxwookey]

@@electricvanman I don't mind doing my own conversion - in fact I think I'd prefer to, but it's a massive time investment so I'm still waiting for the right base. And of course getting changes to the base to suit camper applications requires more than just one-offs. I don't know if canoo have already thought about this for the US market, so may have something in their design stash. So you are saying that they already do V2G? Or have just promised it? That's very good news if so.

[@TheGrumpLee]

A hell of a lot of van users wont need anywhere near a ton of load carrying capability. The opening door would be a lot better to use than the sliding one too, especially if converted to a camper. Not as good in tight spaces though I agree. I also like my vans to be fun. Most arent, but you can make changes to improve them. Why should they just be boring when you can spend every day of your working week in them. More fun vans please! Im very interested in these. I think the modular ability in the rear is fantastic and really well thought out. Same applies to the cab area. Range is sufficient too and better than the other small electric van alternatives.. even the mediums too, apart from the buzz. Interested in the pricing and when we're likely to be able to get our hands on one.

[@ivantuma7969]

two things that are simultaneously great, and troubling. The forward visibility is great - I would just worry about road debris penetrating the passenger cabin. I would prefer a flat screen connected to a forward looking camera, with a reinforced metal front "shield" instead (especially on American roads and roads in the developing world were a stray piece of rebar on the road can make for a very bad day). Also, the drive-by-wire looks like it may induce a video game effect which may take some getting used to - not sure if the steering has any artificially induced feedback to make it feel more connected to the wheels despite DBW. I do love that these vehicles were designed with the second and third owners in mind when it comes to maintenance.

[@electricvanman]

I found that the steering was excellent once I got used to the very short lock to lock. It is very "instant in its response" I did not feel like it was disconnected from the road - quite the opposite!

[@ivantuma7969]

@@electricvanman Thanks for your evaluation. I hope they find the right partner to finish what they started and go into mass production. I think eventually, every new vehicle will have DBW steering. Many vehicles have had DBW brakes for some time and customers don't even realize. I'm just curious what it feels like when you hit an irregularity in the road while in the middle of a hard corner - normally this gets translated back to the driver via the steering wheel. I was just curious if you noticed any artificial feedback during your test. The Korean's (KIA) in particular are tearing the EV van/small truck picture out of the same book but I would rather buy a product produced in the US if it's competitive. I have a commercial Canoo truck pre-order (which I don't expect to see become available for years - if ever :D)

Not really a review, more of a long infomercial. It looks great and has done for all the years its been coming. Lets get it here. I think it has loads of potential. Be good to understand the price v competitors. For sure it will be much cheaper to run. Not sure how practical a oblong wheel is weaving down our residential estates, negotiating mini roundabouts and 3 point turns. An easy fix for them if it's not practical though.

[@electricvanman]

At this stage it has to be that! We can’t drive it out in the real world so I just pass on the info and my experience 👍 the steering is great in that you don’t have to turn it beyond one lock therefore making it much easier to navigate mini roundabouts etc

As much as I like the Canoo concept....... Just what the UK PO need. French PO have been using e-tricycles for years. But...... That square wheel. How do you spin the wheel in 3 point turns with buttons where your hand goes? And anyway, it probably only works on the corners and only 2 of them. And does lock-lock ratio on the steer by wire actually change with speed? Fast action at fast speed is not what is needed.

[@electricvanman]

The lock to lock is much shorter so you don’t need to spin the wheel. It is like steering a go kart and the steering response is instant. There is a short familiarisation period but you soon get used to it!
