Luvly O? the Ikea of cars? assemble it yourself?

 

the Luvly O car? 

It is like a Smart Fortwo in size but a lot simpler in design. It is an electric vehicle. It seems like a 'bare bones' version of the Smart Fortwo. 

Auto Evolution (photo above is from their site) has an article on it. It seems - from the article - that it would be shipped like an Ikea furniture in packs and assembled in 'micro factories' around the world. In some ways it could be good. I can see some customization going on. I can see it as a candidate for having it 'wrapped' - like one would a cell phone - modified to fit the owners personality. 

New Atlas has an article on it. They mention that it has removable batteries but don't mention how big they are. If they are too big, might not be too removable or it would be difficult to do so. The article mentions a range of 62 miles. I can see this being good in city or small towns an an neighborhood electric vehicle. There are those who would love it for that purpose. 

ElecTrive has an article on it. It is like the Ikea of kit cars except one doesn't build it or assemble it yourself. I believe it would be 'flat packed' and delivered to 'mini factories' that would assemble it before being sold. The article a possible future vehicles that would include a sporty trike model and a small van. I wonder how these will turn out or look like. 

There are other articles on it; DuckDuckGo search results for Luvly O car. One could do a search using other search engines. This is just one that I prefer. 

Here is their Luvly Global site. It has photos of a few variations; a box shaped 'transport' type design (possible 'self driving' design?), a cargo design (a Luvly with a box attached), the Luvly design itself, and a sportier design but it has four wheels instead of three.
