The choices available to folks signed up with Autonomy, are about to get a whole lot more diverse.
Autonomy, a vehicle subscription service focused on EVs, just announced that it has ordered 23,000 EVs to diversify its current offerings. Currently, the brand only offers its subscribers the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y. Autonomy wants to change this, by ordering thousands of EVs from different price points.
There’s only one minimum standard here, each EV must have a range of 250 miles, although Autonomy said it has made some exceptions. The price of the EV’s range from $26,595 (likely the Chevy Bolt EV), all the way up to $155,000. Autonomy’s order is estimated to be valued at more than $1.2 billion and covers 45 models from 17 different manufacturers. True, Tesla still makes up the bulk of Autonomy’s order (8,300 valued at around $443 million), but GM and Volkswagen place very high on Autonomy’s list. Curiously, Autonomy claims to have ordered 200 Polestar EVs, but Polestar told InsideEVs that no such order had been placed. Whatever the case, this huge bulk order represents a staggering 1.2% of the United States’ future EV production.
For those unfamiliar, Autonomy is an automotive subscription service, that allows users to pay a monthly fee to use a vehicle, without the hassle of owning or leasing the vehicle. The service plans are longer than normal rental vehicles but shorter than a traditional lease. Currently, service is limited to California.
