VW built a high-speed EV office chair

The team at Volkswagen’s commercial vehicle division in Norway has designed and built the one-off electric office chair and equipped it with a host of features you’d expect to find in its latest battery-powered cars.

This includes a rear-view camera, parking sensors, horn, headlights and an armrest infotainment touchscreen.

It has a claimed range of 7.5 miles (12km) and a top speed just over 12mph (20kmh) – but you won’t be able to buy one!

The electrified office chair is a one-of-a-kind creation, so you won’t see a worker buzzing through the town centre on the morning coffee run anytime soon.

VW said it took ‘months of tedious work and testing’ to create – which does make you wonder how much time it is dedicating to developing battery-powered vans that businesses can use in the future.

But the vehicle isn’t supposed to be serious. Instead, it’s a tongue-in-cheek project that’s more about showing how much electric car tech can be crammed into a tiny package, like a piece of furniture.
