lautomotive

lautomotive is a technology-driven automotive company involved in the design, manufacture, and software support of electric vehicles and related mobility services. The company emphasizes modular platforms, sustainability, and connected software.

lautomotive originated in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 2010s, founded by a group of engineers seeking to integrate lightweight design with scalable vehicle platforms. It pursued a modular skateboard chassis, integrated battery modules, and a proprietary drive system. After initial prototypes and testing, production arrangements were established with contract manufacturers in North America in the mid-2010s.

The product portfolio includes an electric compact sedan, an electric mid-size SUV, and light commercial vans, as well as stationary energy storage solutions and charging equipment. A cloud-based software stack provides telematics, OTA updates, and vehicle data analytics, and is designed to support driver-assistance features and over-the-air firmware management.

lautomotive's technology emphasis centers on in-house powertrain development, advanced battery management, and safety-certified software. The company collaborates with suppliers for components while maintaining internal control over software and vehicle architecture to ensure upgradeability and interoperability with charging networks.

In markets across North America and Europe, lautomotive sells directly to consumers and through fleet programs, with partnerships in place to support service and maintenance. The company states commitments to reducing lifecycle emissions, using recyclable materials, and maintaining supply chain transparency and governance.
