Removing the need for traditional fuel and relying on batteries opens up new possibilities, and not just in terms of power sources. It can offer a bit more flexibility when it comes to the form and function of the vehicle, like cars with completely digital interfaces or screens all around. There might even be room for a modular design, as this concept for a tiny Japanese electric van tries to show, allowing the manufacturer or even the owner to switch out certain parts both outside and inside to match their needs, just like pieces of a puzzle.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/hwe-cars.jp\/\">HW Electro<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-9.jpg\" alt width=\"1289\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-469261\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/03\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modular electric minivan is inspired by puzzles for a more sustainable design\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-9.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-11.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-469262\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/03\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modular electric minivan is inspired by puzzles for a more sustainable design\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-11.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-11.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"850\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-469262\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/01\/03\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"Modular electric minivan is inspired by puzzles for a more sustainable design\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/01\/modular-electric-minivan-is-inspired-by-puzzles-for-a-more-sustainable-design\/hwe-puzzle-ev-concept-11.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"3c0170645e017d06d3a9b66d-text\/javascript\"><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"3c0170645e017d06d3a9b66d-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>To be fair, a modular car might be a bit far down the road considering the industry is hyper-focused on standardizing electric vehicles and making self-driving features more acceptable to the masses.

It\u2019s a bit of a generic system that opens up quite a number of possibilities but, more importantly, it also doesn\u2019t tie them down to a specific design or part.
