Are there any German start-ups building an electric car?
- kuschku 10y agoNo startups, but there’s other companies that have never been involved with cars before that are now building electric vehicles. Deutsche Post DHL (Germany’s federal mail service) is now building their delivery vehicles themselves, so they can get electric ones quickly. http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/deutsche-post-baut-elektro-auto-blamage-fuer-die-deutschen-autobauer-a-1107782.html http://www.spiegel.de/spiegel/deutsche-post-baut-elektro-aut...
- usrusr 10y agoNothing beyond the funny level. Occasionally, people who somehow got their hands on the naming rights to a vintage brand long dead are using "electric!" as a hand-wavey excuse as to how they will reconstitute the name to its former glory, but those rarely get to their second concept rendering. And then there are probably some leftovers from the era of approaching EV from the bottom, with minimalistic vehicles that are more in line with electric assist velomobiles than by electrifying big, heavy cars. But those are more established niche than startup.
