Our co founders, Ben Parker and Toby Kraus, sat down with Futurride and Kevin Jost to discuss the change from our Lightship L1 to our recently-announced production Lightship AE.1™. “Not one thing under the skin is the same as the alpha vehicle that we showed,” co-founder Ben Parker shared. “We’ve been doing production vehicle design to build something cost-effective, durable, and all the mechanisms work properly—a manufacturable product.” According to Parker, preserving the aero performance envisioned in the concept is one of the program’s biggest success stories. He says that it has taken a lot of work to package everything into the underbody of the vehicle and keep the intended smooth underbelly. Areas like the battery packs and water tanks are exposed but a number of open cavities in the frame got farings to maintain drag performance and allow for the targeted range figures without increasing the size of the battery pack. We’re confident that the future looks Aero-Electric. Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gTGud3_r
