Angel Sánchez Vargas' Pod single-seat urban vehicle is a futuristic EV designed for daily rentals. The Pod is designed to be used exclusively by services such as Zip Car which offer car rentals to people using a monthly subscription.
The Pod single-seat urban vehicle is designed to be used similarly to the cars offered by Zip Car with the exception that the vehicle is offered on an hourly contract. This contract is designed to be used by professionals, students and others who only need a car to help them get around during the workday. The car itself only seats one and is powered by four electric engines with one in each wheel. The car is low to the ground and features oversized tires for a smoother ride.
