The Xbus Is A Modular EV That Reinvents What A Car Can Be

I want this in the US so badly. The cars here are so unnecessarily huge and full speced and that means they are expensive this is beautiful

This is so much cooler than the VW ID Buzz. It captures the spirit a lot better.

This is what I like about EVs - they don't have to follow old rules, and they can generate real-world interest for those of us waiting for a proper fit-for-lifestyle vehicle. Well done! 😎👍

Avoiding all the unnecessary frills in the cab is something that the mainstream manufacturers should take on board. Keep things simple. As for the X-bus, I am impressed. It ticks many boxes for me, being under 2 metres wide, lightweight, simple uncluttered bodywork and the campervan module is great. I would have liked a bit more detail in the show about legroom and seat comfort plus a few details about performance

This is what people want from an EV. Simple, fun, cheap and does the job, this is like a modern day VW bus. I just hope they don't make it too boxy as it looks great as is now and I could see myself driving the camper one if and when it comes to UK and is in right hand drive. All the legacy car companies that don't listen to customers and force what they want on others should be taking notes here.

The XBus is an awful lot closer to what I want in an electric pickup truck than a Cybertruck or F150 Lightning, and I say that as someone who currently owns an extended cab/8ft bed Toyota Tundra. If I had a car company and built an electric pickup I wouldn't make an extended cab, or offer luxury add ons, the world (read as North America) needs fewer, smaller pickups on the road, that are there for work.

Interesting to see the idea of a Japanese Kei-Truck or Kei-Van reimagined to fit the European regulations + being electric. I hope X-Bus will be doing well to make more brands recognize the need of such vehicles.

It is so good to hear that the XBus is still happening. It was too bad when the Sonos Sion, another small practical vehicle with great innovation, stopped being a possibility. Best wishes to the XBus team. It will be great exposure being at Fully Charged Live this weekend in Amsterdam.

I went the offices of Electric Brands earlier this year and had a look at their prototypes - I was blown away! I'm one of the 17000 he mentioned 😀

I can see those storage units being very popular as mobile store/ coffee shop. Park on the street and just open the side to sell to customers in the area. Something like a mobile key cutting could be popular.

Please make the dealerships have the different modules on a conveyor belt system so you can drive in, swap them out and head off like Thunderbird 2 and its pods. Fold-down palm trees on the exit ramp are an optional extra.

This nearly production ready XBus is much better than I was expecting it to be! The modularity is really well done, and I love the budget trim level. I’d really love to have one

I am highly sceptical about Xbus. Their initial figures they gave in 2021 had their large boxy van achieving an efficiency twice that of a Renault Twizy. They have since revised those figures down quite a bit, but 600 km from 45 kWh is still comparable to the Twizy's 90 km from 6.1 kWh. In something as tall as Jack, as wide as several Jacks and seemingly four times heavier than a Twizy. I just don't see that being possible. I smell another Sono Sion. Promise a world-changer at the start, get a load of investment then slowly scale back the ambition until you don't have any product at all.

I love how EVs are bringing innovation back to transportation. Things like modularity, autonomation, light weight, purpose driven design, ridesharing and delivery platforms are all being developed around the world. The paradigms are shifting and that is exciting. This disruption, like those before it, will have winners and losers, new standards, and new solutions to new problems. Underneath it all is the question: How can humans live sustainably on this planet, and will they learn to do so in time? Great presentation Jack! No 'mahoosives' or 'gubbins', but no matter. The wasp made up for it all! 🐝

I hope this will be my first electric car it is just so amazing and multifunctional

VDL Nedcar?!? Oh snap! A huge Dutch production plant that goes back to the '60s with names like DAF, Volvo, Mitsubishi, BMW, Smart, and Mini and a historical peak production of 250.000 cars in a year. The BMW X1 recently went out of production so they currenly only produce Minis at the moment. This is great news for both XBUS and VDL!

Love it. Its ideal. Small vehicle, small range, small battery, small recharge time, small wheels, with cheaper size tyres. Its basically an electric kei truck, or a Bedford Rascal EV. Only thing I'd say is that I think the external door hinges are a mistake.

So nice to hear that this project is still going. Hope it makes it into full production🤞

No Euro NCAP testing is something that should be mentioned. No airbag or ahy other safety features.

Amazing. Smaller,Lighter and Simplicity is elegant. No car company in the States is smart enough to partner.
