Lots of EV manufacturers are investigating the "skateboard" model where you drop a chassis on a unified battery platform.
VW has invested monumental amounts in this but I imagine will keep it all locked down to the VAG family. Perhaps they're open to licensing opportunities. Canoo ($GOEV) on the other hand is in the news for their skateboard platform being adopted by Hyundai/Kia and potentially being the base of the new Apple car.
In theory DMC could build upon a Canoo skateboard, or license another EV startups skateboard.
