Charge electric truck
An electric truck platform where one person can build an e-truck in just four hours.
Roborace, a completely self-driving racing championship, is trying to achieve a hugely complex task – cars that compete and overtake each other using only AI. To add to the difficulty, the car is also electric.
Now, in a bid to increase the number of electric vehicles on the roads and boost the technology used in this championship, the team behind the robotic racer is releasing a new electric truck.
The truck will be built in 2017. It can be built in four hours by just one person, and this means 10 persons - over two shifts a day - could assemble 10,000 trucks a year.
