KOMMA EV
THE PROJECT
CONTEXT
Komma and Granstudio set out to rethink electric mobility for cities.The ambition was to design a vehicle that reduces material and energy use while preserving comfort, safety, and joy. The limitations of traditional EVs revealed the need for a fundamentally different approach to sustainability.
ROLE
Granstudio acted as a strategic and experience-driven design collaborator, bringing UX methods, phygital exploration, and system-level thinking to the development of Komma’s compact electric vehicle.
THE SHIFT
The task was not to create a smaller car, but to redefine the logic of urban mobility
Instead of adapting the existing automotive paradigm, the project envisioned a new category, combining the comfort and safety of a car with the footprint and agility of a two-wheeler. Sustainability became a structural principle, not a feature.
APPROACH
SENSE
We challenged assumptions around EV design, focusing on real urban behaviors and the emotional value of compact mobility.
SHAPE
We developed a narrow, agile architecture that balances protection, performance, and efficiency while feeling natural in dense city environments.
MAKE
Early prototyping aligned engineering, UX, and sustainability goals, ensuring material efficiency and coherence from the outset.
OUTCOME
Komma emerged as a distinct urban EV concept
It merges car-like comfort with motorcycle-like agility. Using up to 70% less material, it delivers reduced environmental impact without compromising safety or driving pleasure.
WHAT CHANGED
Compact size shifted from constraint to opportunity.
Sustainability moved from aspiration to design logic. The project aligned teams around a systemic vision of mobility, demonstrating how urban vehicles can be both joyful and genuinely efficient.
