Volvo And Renault's New Flexis Vans Are Fast-Charging 'Skateboard' EVs
Briefly

Flexis, a joint venture of Renault Group, Volvo Group, and CMA CGM, will launch three all-electric vans in Europe next year. These vans feature an innovative 800-volt electrical architecture and utilize a Google-based software platform. The initial models highlight a single electric motor with 197 horsepower and rapid charging capabilities, allowing an 80% charge in just 20 minutes. Aiming for the B2B market, Flexis intends to capitalize on the automotive expertise of its founders to navigate the competitive commercial vehicle landscape successfully.
Designing a cool, futuristic electric van is one thing, but bringing it to the market and making money is extremely difficult—just ask Arrival and Canoo.
Powered by an 800-volt battery pack, the vans can be replenished to 80% in just 20 minutes, highlighting efficiency in electric vehicle technology.
