PACES Platform

Passenger And Commercial EV Skateboard

A modular EV skateboard for low volume passenger and commercial EVs

-----------

Flexible, scaleable, lightweight and cost effective, Watt Electric Vehicle Company’s Passenger And Commercial EV Skateboard (PACES) is an adaptable bonded aluminium platform specifically designed for low volume manufacture.

​

Composed of lightweight extrusions that interlock and bond together without the need for the usual complex and expensive jigs and fixtures, PACES forms extremely rigid chassis structures and can be applied to almost any size or shape of EV, from small sports cars to large buses – and across FWD, RWD and AWD layouts.  

​

Engaging a full supply chain of expert component suppliers, including battery technology from a leading global OEM, Watt Electric Vehicle Company’s PACES platform can fully support niche vehicle manufacturers in accelerating their transition to electric power.

Watt Electric Vehicle Company Coupe

A 1950s-inspired, two-seat fixed head electric sports car, the Watt Electric Vehicle Company Coupe will be the first vehicle to use the PACES platform. Focusing on driver involvement, it will feature 50:50 weight distribution, a kerbweight of less than 1,000kg and a communicative chassis exhibiting carefully-honed ride, handling and steering characteristics.

Its rear-mounted electric motor will be available in two power outputs, with a 40kWh battery, giving WLTP range of 230 miles. More details of the Coupe will be revealed in the coming weeks.
