The All-Electric Canoo Is Like NO Other Van You've Ever Known or Driven: Come Ride Along With Me!

tflev is brought to you by flowcharter maker of reliable high quality charging stations for your electric vehicle all right hey Gary there he is hi Andre hey how's it going great great you you work for continuing with canoe I'm uh in charge of a customer Journey for canoe a Gary commission the vice president of customer Journey so how about this uh Gary this is kind of a two-parter first of all this drive experience yes but also you also have commercial vehicles right we have we can go inside and look at those absolutely okay this is the canoe lifestyle vehicle seven passenger our premium version full glass roof glass all the way around yeah uh seating for seven we have three three people in the back right now yep we're kind of fully laden almost right almost yeah how many people how many people can be you can put seven in here it'll seat five in the back okay and uh and uh very comfortably I've driven it around with seven people and it's uh it's a very nice vehicle to drive around all right well let's go for it and it will uh it has a 200 mile range at least and right now right now we're about 68 battery so we've got plenty and watch my watch The Limited uh turning of the steering wheel okay to make full turns so it's a variable ratio variable ratio and it's a steer by wire so you see there's no steering column underneath and creates a lot of leg room a lot of extra space open space down there and then of course our uh our signature street view glass in the front looking right out the front you can see everything on the road so let's use the 350 horsepower okay let's do it let's go accelerates we're downtown Indies we should take it to the speedway um so we were kind of joking around about the caller name this is green right and we said uh canoe racing green but this steering wheel reminds me of a racing car actually it does it looks like a Formula One car that's yeah actually you know it's steer by wire air is aircraft technology uh we're the first ones actually though that put it into a vehicle in production well it has to be certified in all those things all done okay all done redundant systems of course and is this one is this front wheel drive rear-wheel drive this is rear drive okay we do have the capacity for a front drive motor okay I can put two Motors in it okay oh and I can see a speedometer up there Speedo is in the front and the HVAC is right in front of you all touch controls so you know you touch it to turn it on turn it off okay all right what are some of those buttons on the steering wheel on top of the steering wheel this is for Mirror adjustments left and right that's all that is and then all your other functions are on this screen on the left hand side so we've got uh driving light if I can turn the lights on and off automatic uh we've got uh the rear camera so we've got camera for backup and and also just a rear view camera and a bird's eye camera yeah I like the suspension it's relatively comfy it's very it's a it's a nice smooth ride it's a about a 4 600 pound vehicle and with a 1500 pound cargo capacity let's take a turn here and these are made in Oklahoma we're going to build in Oklahoma City okay yes that's where our Factory is there you can see you know Indy and also so what are can you tell me a little bit about pricing I know these are four fleets only I mean you're starting with Fleet customers starting with our uh ldbr our delivery van version of this of this model okay and uh that one is priced at uh 39 950 MSRP before any upfitting this particular one is our premium passenger model it's priced at 49.50 and it comes with the seating and the battery because everything as you see it all fully loaded the way it is and this is you know panoramic roof all the top glass all the way around front and rear air conditioning uh 17 speakers also for fifty thousand dollars I mean I would say that's a good value I I would challenge anybody to find a better value so here we are in looks like a center of Indianapolis downtown Indianapolis yeah yeah on the roundabout I want to show you how how tight the turning radius this is as soon as we can find out a little an open space or a parking spot someplace there and so um all the safety I mean this vehicle obviously is for Street use and so all the safety certification exactly we've gone through all of our crash testing we're on the road to a five-star crash rating on this vehicle which is which is our outstanding that will also apply once we get the rating that will also apply to the delivery van you can you can operate with one pedal drive if you like so that as soon as you lift off of the accelerator you'll start braking that does the Regeneration of power quite quickly or you can do normal braking or you can have a setting that's about in between that so you can configure that to your liking configure so you can do the settings of that you know how you like it oh look so they're the vents up here they have up yeah the vents are top and bottom not right in your face same in the back top and bottom and I like these um Safari wings like when like Land Rover right you're welcome I wish I could do a donut in this you think I would get a ticket if I did that well right here in the middle of the street yeah probably we could find a parking lot somewhere else how about if I show you how it turns right around like this oh there bam can you do and you didn't have to turn the steering over I hardly turned the steering wheel he has a very curd to curve how about if I do it again right here in in the city in the city whoa turning it around making it a U-turn right in the downtown of a city so the maneuver maneuverability is is is outstanding everybody has commented on that when they drive it uh the visibility the field of view that you have here so when um some of the consumer versions are coming out yeah this consumer version will will be in production next year in 2024. in 24 hours sweet take a look at this guys what I found at the 2023 work truck show in Indianapolis it's a canoe all-electric delivery vehicle so in this video I want to show it to you climb around it learned everything about this new vehicle because we get a lot of questions from you guys about the latest canoe vehicles and I have here Gary from the company hey Gary hey Audrey how are you good to see you nice to meet you man so can you kind of walk me around this vehicle and show me what it's like absolutely sure love to this is our launch vehicle our canoe LDV we call it right now okay see class one uh work ready vehicle and you see it here up fit with a specific outfit for Schindler Schindler Elevator actually okay and uh they've just announced that they're going to be using this vehicle and United States to start off with for their elevator service workers so right now they're kind of for fleets right yes yeah commercial commercial use Fleet use small business owners it's a 100 electric vehicle you know 80 kilowatt battery pack uh 200 plus mile range and uh as you'll see we'll look at the inside too very very uh ergonomically designed for the drivers very easy to load and unload the cargo if we walk around to the back yeah so there's a side door obviously this is this is the side door and uh in this particular upfit it's a it's a pull out and this this this outfit was created by the Holmen Automotive Group uh there are many companies that we're that are now upfitting the canoe vehicles and designing up is for them Holmen is one of them Ranger is one of them sortimo is one of them and uh they this is a specific fit for their customer so overall I mean this is not a very tall vehicle I mean it's not tall it's kind of uh as tall as I am it's it's yeah and for good reason because many of the uses of these they need to go into tight spaces they need to go into parking garages that were probably designed 50 years ago you know so this vehicle will go anywhere it's got great maneuverability the other thing that you should notice is the way that the interior is configured it's uh nearly 90 space utilization inside this so you don't have to get into the vehicle to get your cargo out every one of these companies is upfitting it so that the cargo wall pulls out of the vehicle and that way you get you get full utilization of the Interior Space and and I can see so the rear hatch is kind of traditional right so it opens up in this case it's a traditional hatch in the back yes and uh you know that's that's got a lot of good features to it but uh the overall size of the vehicle if you want to consider the uh the the cargo capacity uh it's about 133 cubic feet and the payload is about 1500 pound payload in there so you're getting the payload of a quarter ton pickup with this vehicle you're getting uh the the interior configuration you're utilizing 90 interior and if we walk to the front yeah that's what I'm most interested about yeah and keep in mind what I said about you know driver driver ergonomics and go ahead and hop in Andre okay you need to feel the comfort of the seats and you need to see the field of view that you have here is unparalleled field of view you can see literally the road right in front of you you can see a coin on the road out there you know if you and we've left this intentionally open to the right because it gives the driver much more visibility on the right side of the vehicle which which they need the seats are designed for comfort and you know this I mean these folks are in these vehicles six or eight hours a day you they want them to feel good when they get out of the vehicle too um the technology that we use is steer by wire and Drive by wire so you notice there's no steering column under there you've got more leg room it also helps us with the design of the vehicle we can push the seating forward like this and we can get more cargo space um and the front area like we said that's our that's one of our signatures there the the street view glass that we call it yeah so it's almost like a cap Forward Design but there's still a lot of space between kind of the driver and the front of the front and you're a pretty tall guy I mean how do you feel I'm six three and you still have Headroom in here to put a hat on if you want to yeah can you can you can you show me sure so yeah so I I mean I have a lot of Headroom here I don't know if you can see that and look I can also stretch out my arms um in the steering or get closer yeah and I'm glad you're grabbing onto the steering wheel because the steering in this in this vehicle like I said is steer by wire which is aircraft technology so you don't roll this steering wheel over you just steer it you know very very slightly is it variable variables variable ratiable ratio but if you turn this wheel 90 degrees you're turning a corner that's how how it is and it's very very easy to get used to we have one pedal drive so it'll regen the power uh when you take your foot off the pedal it'll start breaking if you like that setting if you like a regular braking setting we've got that too we've got three different settings for uh the uh the uh acceleration and acceleration as well and and over here you'll see uh the screen where the driver can have all of his information he can he can see where his charge level is he can look at at the back we've got well the gate is up right now but we've got backup camera we've got rear view camera so you can see behind you as you go forward if you like to and we have bird's eye view there's a lot of other data in there so from a Fleet Management perspective fleets can understand driver Behavior they can understand hard acceleration heartbreaking things like that and all this analytics comes off of this and you can see also the charging information charging information is here right here exactly so and we're open to any Chargers we don't have any proprietary charging Network or anything like that very simple uh and easy to use controls on the inside those are all touch controls on the panel there over here yeah so touch the window there that little window to the left where the uh where the glass looks like a glass yeah so now you just turn the air conditioning on oh I see touch it and I turn it off turn it up turn it down yeah turns off that's interesting okay that's your HVAC contract and controls little little storage box well that's actually the airbag for the passenger side oh okay so in in the front so uh you know this is all a crash Zone in the front and I I could maybe store something up there well how does that work well probably on the floor but uh since that's a crash Zone uh what kind of vision Zone as well yeah I mean in the typical vehicle you'd have instrument panel and you'd have a big engine in there yeah you know and uh in our vehicle when something happens that airbag is going to fill that whole space and protect you okay there's not going to be an instrument panel coming into your chest or anything like this you know so so and you said about what 200 miles of range 200 miles of range at least 200 miles of range uh 80 kilowatt hours what kind of power as far as horsepower well this is a 350 horsepower motor with 350 pound-feet of torque so it will go and that's another thing it's a software platform most of the as you know most of the electrics are are the software versus Parts yeah vehicles are eight thousand nine thousand Parts this vehicle is 1600 parts so you turn it into it it's a tech platform on Wheels with some parts okay yeah so let me step out just for a second it's pretty pretty big door pretty good opening as far as uh in the driver door and this is the pegboard design so we'll have accessories that can be added on here uh cup holders uh storage bags maybe armrest boxes things like that so this is so are you delivering Are you delivering to some customers we're delivering Schindler's uh well Mo all of our 2023 orders and binding where they're going to be delivered starting in July through December of this year okay and then we're now booking for 2024 orders and which is that's filling up too that's quite a thing and right now it's kind of bigger fleets you know it's it's big fleets it's small fleets it's uh it's Fleet management companies that are supplying to their customers so it's you know we so pretty good momentum right I I know you have some other vehicles planned because I saw a pickup version of this yes um that people could reserve right or have at least a waiting list for that what are some of your future plan as well for that so I'll give you an idea so the engineering technology of this vehicle it's designed around efficiency productivity safety technology the skateboard platform is able to take three different top hats so you just mentioned a couple of them the pickup truck top hat that you see on our website that fits on the same skateboard we also have a passenger version a seven passenger version of this vehicle same platform I have one of those outside if you want to go for a ride all right okay and uh and then we've we've also got on the drawing board other variants I can't talk about all of them now but other variants that maybe get a little bit larger sounds good and that will be like 2024 and Beyond yes okay and what are these manufacturers or manufacture in Oklahoma City that's where our Factory is okay and uh that's where our initial Factory is and then we'll grow to a bigger factory in Pryor Oklahoma nice few years
