The MIH Consortium made a small EV that looks like a Smart Fortwo and is powered by Gogoro swappable batteries. It’s on display at the Japan Mobility Show 2023.
Don’t give up on the dream of a small electric car just yet. At the Japan Mobility Show 2023, there’s a tiny car designed for city driving and powered by Gogoro scooter batteries that owners can swap out and drive away without waiting around at a typical EV charging station. The car is called Project X and is built by the Mobility in Harmony Consortium , which is led by manufacturing conglomerate Foxconn.
MIH says Project X also has driverless robotaxi capabilities and features sliding doors for easy passenger entry and exit. There’s no mention of availability or how far it’ll go on one fresh set of batteries, but Gogoro’s two-battery scooter goes about 105 miles — so expect the Project X to get less range. As Electrek points out, many fans of Gogoro scooters often wonder why the batteries can’t power a full-on car.
