Trexa Build Your Own EV with the Trexa PlatformTrexa has revealed all-wheel-drive vehicle development platform that allows you to build your own electric vehicle upon.

The Trexa EV Platform contains a battery, motor and drivetrain that allows designers to create their own auto body for this fully functional electric vehicle.

Trexa, according to Inhabitat, says that its platform offers an unprecedented level of versatility because it contains an entire vehicle’s drivetrain within one low-profile enclosed structure.

The platform is highly scalable, so features such as range, suspension, torque, acceleration, and top speed can all be tailored to suit the vehicle’s intended purpose.

The electric vehicle based on a Trexa platform will be capable of 0 to 60mph in 8 seconds on its way to a top speed of 100mph.

The standard Trexa’s range is 105 miles with a 4-hour recharge time, but each of these details can be tweaked– a larger battery can provide a larger range, while switching to a slower acceleration will conserve battery use as well.

    I’m sorry, what did you say the retail price of this thing is going to be?

    A standardized platform could be used for many different models while the standard design would drive production costs down.
