About Chip Motors:

Chip Motors is building a new category of vehicle. Most cars are engineered for highway speeds and long-distance range. The reality is that 60% of daily trips are under 6 miles. Chip is built for those trips — fully electric, street-legal on roads up to 35mph, 100+ mile range, and built to fit the way people actually move through their neighborhoods. Chip is right-sized on purpose — more capable than anything in its footprint, more practical than anything bigger. Two sizes, four seats or six, designed around the errands, drop-offs, beach trips, lake days and short trips that make up most of your days.

Chip is also the AI embedded in the vehicle. One product, one identity. Through Chip-Go, a human-operated teledriving service, Chip can drop you off and go park, run a pickup, get serviced, get cleaned, get fitted with accessories, or come get you when you're ready. The company is early, the product is real, and the team is small by design.
