The battery, which reaches an 80 percent charge in just 28 minutes, provides about 250 miles on a single charge and its two engines can produce more than 300 horsepower, allowing it to top speeds of 125 miles per hour – and it goes zero to 60 in just seven seconds
The firm is set to officially launch the vehicles in 2021
The firm is not setting a specific duration for commitment and different packages will be available that the firm claims are all affordable.
The lounge car resembles a min-van with a futuristic, sleek design, and it has a symmetrical form to maximize the interior space.
And sticking with the lounge theme, the firm built in a few folding chairs into the sides of the doors and a wraparound couch in the back, according to Cnet.

The firm is not setting a specific duration for commitment and different packages will be available that the firm claims are all affordable, but it promises the vehicle will be comfortable - it has built a wraparound couch in the back
The vehicle is enveloped in 22 different windows that include roof, safari and street view.
Richard Kim, who is in charge of the vehicles design, noted: 'We chose to completely rethink car design and focus on what future users will actually need. Thus, we came up with this loft-inspired vehicle.'
Each vehicle will use a standard undercarriage that it calls a 'skateboard' atop which customers can select different 'top hats' that create the interior of the car.
The company says it plans to roll out four styles of electric car by 2021 that include a 'lifestyle vehicle' a 'last-mile delivery' vehicle, a 'ride-hailing' vehicle, and a 'personal commuter' vehicle.
