This electric city car is designed to be repaired

21 January 2026, #RepairCaféInternational

"Want to tinker with your electric car yourself? A team of Dutch students from the Technical University proves that it is possible. They developed an electric city car that is easy to repair and therefore lasts longer.

"Users can repair the car themselves more easily and are no longer dependent on the manufacturer for minor repairs. With their ‘concept car’, the students want to inspire the car industry and at the same time challenge European policymakers.

The #FordModelT as inspiration

"One of the first successful cars for the man in the street was the iconic Ford Model T from 1908. It was an easy-to-produce model that even came with a toolkit! Now, more than 125 years later, it is time for the first electric car to focus on simplicity and repairability. Students are taking the lead in this. On 25 November, they unveiled the ARIA: a modular electric city car that you can repair yourself."
