2025 HW Electro Puzzle

The HW Electro Puzzle is a compact electric van prototype from a Japanese start-up, expected to enter production in 2025. With an origami-inspired design, this unique EV measures 3,395 mm in length and 1,475 mm in width, offering a surprisingly roomy wheelbase of 2,480 mm within its small footprint. The Puzzle’s design emphasizes functionality, with innovative front panels that open up to reveal the main charging port, additional connectors for charging personal devices, and a built-in first aid kit—making it as practical as it is quirky.

One of the standout features of the Puzzle is its roof-mounted solar panels, which offer a supplementary charge to the main lithium-iron-phosphate battery. This battery provides a range of approximately 200 km on a single charge, suitable for urban commuting and short trips. By blending thoughtful design with compact practicality, the HW Electro Puzzle embodies an efficient, city-friendly electric solution tailored for Japan’s dense urban spaces.
