When in travel mode, the car extends to 4.80 metres long with a 2.93 metre-long wheelbase, creating a more spacious interior with extra legroom and space for two more suitcases.

An additional 50kWh battery can be added to the car in travel mode, giving it a combined 90kWh battery. This would extend the car's range to 435 miles.
The car would be extended to travel mode at a predetermined battery station, where the shared batteries would be stored. Here the car's undertray opens and the extra 50 kWh battery would be insta...
