e.Volution SPACE

Can a large, all-purpose electric vehicle really be sustainable?

At e.Volution, we want to show that a large, emotional family car can also be sustainable.

With the SPACE and the META, we are developing the first true Circular Economy vehicles, which can be updated and upgraded every five years in a remanufacturing process in our Re-Assembly Factory, thus achieving four times the lifespan of conventional passenger cars.

At the same time, with the SPACE, we are resolving the conflict between CO₂ footprint and range through a combination of battery and range extender, without increasing the cost per kilometre. 
In doing so, we rely on an efficient combination of battery and range extender that enables a range of up to 500 km.

The Universal vehicle

As a cross-over of off-roader and van, the SPACE is intended to combine all the characteristics of a modern universal vehicle, ... and at the same time emotionalize emobility. To this end, it makes full use of the advantages of e-mobility technologies. With a very flat battery design in the underbody it is possible to achieve such a low center of gravity for the vehicle that a sporty, safe driving performance is achieved with a relatively small vehicle width (only 1.92m), even though the parking garage height is fully utilized.

The two independent electric axles are so compact that large steering angles are possible at the front. This makes the SPACE much easier to drive than comparable SUVs or vans. Together with the superior vehicle height and the variable interior concept the SPACE represents a space miracle and creates comfort in all driving situations.

The interior

The interior of the SPACE features a full-length glass display in the cockpit, which serves as both a driver dashboard and passenger entertainment. The Circular Economy capability of our vehicles comes into play in terms of connectivity. The cockpit's interfaces are designed so that new displays and innovative technologies can be easily and quickly installed in future updates at our Re-Assembly factory.

Another example of the SPACE's superior sustainability are the seats covered with renewable natural fibers. The extremely durable and robust design of the seat structure allows the interior to be regularly upgraded with new upholstery and covering, rather than replacing an entire seat. Recyclable materials thus enable a particularly low CO2 footprint.
