The transition to electric vehicles presents immense technical challenges, prompting manufacturers to rethink vehicle platforms, moving away from over a century of combustion car development.
Developing a dedicated EV platform offers maximum design freedom and scalability, but necessitates years of R&D, making it a challenging argument to convince shareholders.
The 'quick and dirty' route involves retrofitting old combustion platforms for EV production, leading to limited design capabilities but allowing expedient deployment of serviceable EVs.
Many newer combustion platforms are flexible enough to accommodate hybrids and EVs, offering manufacturers the capability to adapt to customer preferences and market changes.
