StreetScooter is The StreetScooter is a modular electric vehicle developed by a young German engineering scholar, Achim Kampker, that can add, remove and reuse modular parts as needed and uses a "bare car sales, battery rental" marketing strategy.

While electric car manufacturers are focusing on how to build higher range electric cars, they're also focusing on how The StreetScooter does the opposite, with a range of 45km to 150km depending on the number of batteries installed. In terms of pricing, StreetScooter targets a niche market of €5,000 to €15,000, while the common price of electric cars on the market today is over €20,000 (about RMB 160,000).

Is the higher the range of an electric car, the better? Logically, yes, but not necessarily in terms of demand. According to surveys, 90-95% of urbanites travel within 90 km of each other. So, do we have to pay several times the cost for the occasional long-distance trip now? In fact, the range of today's most advanced electric cars is no match for the cheapest conventional gasoline vehicles.

With its excellent price/performance ratio, the StreetScooter is likely to be the first choice for the environmentally conscious masses - who are perfectly capable of renting a car or using public transport for long trips; it could also become As many families "second car" of the best choice.

StreetScooter's ultra-low pricing is related to its battery rental model. The battery is not included in the sale of the vehicle and has to be leased for an additional fee. Usually the cost of the battery accounts for half of the cost of electric vehicles, which is a huge burden for consumers. And, because of the immaturity of car battery technology, battery life and stability can also become a bottleneck that allows consumers to make choices. When the battery is detached from the car and becomes an independent and risk-free long-term service to the user is provided, the affordability of consumers will increase significantly.

It is important to note that while StreetScooter also adopts a battery swap model, it has a different business objective than Better Place, which just declared bankruptcy StreetScooter targets short distance trips, and the home is still the center of the majority of trips, including charging locations.

What kind of car is the Streetscooter? In order to meet the needs of different miles of travel without wasting the user's money and charging time, the Streetscooter is sold without a battery. The Streetscooter is equipped with airbags, ABS and EPS, and has all the features of a typical family car. Its operating voltage of only 60 volts ensures maximum safety while driving and servicing. The most impressive thing is that, depending on its performance, the Streetscooter is priced at only 0.5 million 15,000 euros (RMB 40,120,000).
