Mobility startup Canoo now has a number of electric vehicles in the pipeline, but has now offered a few new details on what will be the first cab off the rank, a multipurpose van it calls the "Lifestyle Vehicle."

LA-based electric mobility company Canoo has pulled back the curtain on its third vehicle, now joining the likes of Tesla, Bollinger, Rivian and others to add an all-electric pickup truck to its vehicle fleet.

Over a year after announcing a subscription-based electric vehicle model, and a couple of months after showing off its skateboard chassis in the form of a bare-bones skatekart, Canoo has introduced a Class 1 electric delivery van called the MPDV.

When Canoo presented its EV a year ago, the symmetrical e-pod didn't exactly scream, "Dust-heaving dune buggy!" But underneath is a skateboard chassis capable of becoming just that. Canoo has turned skateboard into "skatekart" and put it to the test.
