What with the fading away of Arcimoto, it may be time to pick a new favorite. I liked the flat-pack Beetle chassis -- but instead of shipping what they had, they continued to innovate themselves into oblivion. So much so I can't find the mentions I made on this site.
Comes now an EV skateboard under a Porsche 356 replica body:

Quote:
U.K.-based Watt Electric Vehicle Company has developed a flexible skateboard platform for low-volume manufacturers, and to show it off the company created an electric coupe inspired by the classic Porsche 356 sports car.
.....
The coupe serves as a demonstrator for Watt's Passenger and Commercial EV Skateboard (PACES). It's a modular bonded aluminum structure that can accommodate everything from sports cars—like a DeLorean, perhaps—to buses, with front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive layouts.

It's hard to go wrong with a 356 body. But the side windows look like thin, flimsy plastic.
I'm sure an Aptera is more in my price range.
