[12] The Canoo Multi-Purpose Platform that underpins all its vehicles is a skateboard chassis that carries battery modules within the perimeter frame, protected on bottom and top by a belly panel and the vehicle cabin floor; the modules form part of the frame's structure, helping to stiffen it and lowering overall weight by approximately 15% compared to peer designs.

[13] As initially unveiled, the MPDV1 and MPDV2 shared a single-motor, front-wheel drive arrangement, with the permanent-magnet traction motor providing 200 hp (150 kW) and 236 lb⋅ft (320 N⋅m) of torque.

The traction battery operates at a nominal 400 V.[13] Cargo volume aft of the front bulkhead is estimated to be 4.6 m3 (160 cu ft) for the MPDV1[14]: 64  and 13 m3 (460 cu ft) for the MPDV2;[15]: 73  maximum payload varies with model and battery capacity, ranging from 1,980 lb (900 kg) for the MPDV1/40 kW-hr to 1,320 lb (600 kg) for the MPDV2/80 kW-hr.
