This Swedish startup wants to be the Ikea of EVs with tiny, flat-pack cars that cost $11,000
Luvly
- Swedish startup Luvly is working on tiny electric cars for urban environments.
- The Luvly O, its first car, will cost around $10,700 and offer 60 miles of range.
- Luvly plans to flat-pack car parts and ship them to "microfactories" near where customers live.
If Ikea made an electric vehicle, it might look a little something like the Luvly O.
The Swedish startup is looking to sell customers on tiny urban EVs that are kinder to the planet and contribute less to congestion than buzzy models like, say, a Ford F-150 Lightning or Tesla Model Y.
What makes the Luvly O different from other little EVs? The idea is to flat-pack each car's parts — much like an Ikea Malm, Kallax, or Billy — and then assemble them at "microfactories" close to customers, cutting down on shipping emissions and costs.
