Chip Motors to Launch Compact $15,000 EV in 2026 with Optional Remote Driving

A new startup, Chip Motors, plans to introduce an ultra-compact electric vehicle in 2026, targeting urban commuters with a unique proposition. Priced at $15,000, this 25-mph EV will offer an unusual feature: the ability for a remote driver to take control, essentially allowing the car to park itself or navigate challenging areas without direct user intervention. This concept aims to simplify urban mobility by blending ownership with on-demand remote assistance.
