This new electric car chassis concept, the Tabby caught my attention. Worth also checking this coverage from Bloomberg. Now, this isn’t really meant to be a finished car; it’s supposed to be an open-source platform for building a finished vehicle, electric or otherwise. But they are talking about being able to build a car for ten thousand euros with this kit.

If you could build a finished electric vehicle on this platform for €25k, it would make sense. End-consumers wouldn’t buy these, because they wouldn’t be as flexible an investment as a regular car for the same price and consumers would be very concerned about resale value. But the same consumers would be willing to rent them by the hour. At 4 or 5 euros an hour and 10c/km, you could make money, and it would be very attractive to consumers.
