I all the time take pleasure in getting updates from The Pushed about EVs however, sadly, my household shouldn’t be ready to alter to an EV as one member of the family is in a motorised wheelchair.
Our present ICE car is a 2014 Renault Kangoo that has been modified to permit our daughter to drive her wheelchair into the again of the van through a ramp.
So as to modify the Kangoo to permit for wheelchair entry, the ground of the car needed to be lowered in order that the ramp wouldn’t be too steep, and a ramp put in. As well as, straps and so on had been added. It’s a nice car for the three of us and has the added bonus of excellent suspension for a heavy wheelchair.
Nevertheless, the car is 10 years previous. We’d like to make this Kangoo our final ICE car however the market shouldn’t be providing any viable alternate options.
I perceive that the batteries in EVs are positioned below the ground of the car, thus stopping the type of modification essential to put in a ramp (i.e decreasing the ground).
Does anybody have any updates within the EV world re wheelchair accessible EVs?
