Sharp and Foxconn have teamed up to create a new electric minivan concept called the LDK+. The companies showed off their creation at the Sharp Tech-Day 24 exhibition in Tokyo on September 17-18, 2024.

The LDK+ looks like a high-tech home appliance on wheels. It's got a silver finish, a boxy shape with rounded edges, and a big Sharp logo on the front. The design is all about making the most of the space inside.

When you step into the LDK+, you'll feel like you're in your living room. The rear bench seats can rotate, turning the cabin into a cozy room. If you want some privacy, just use the liquid crystal shutters on the side windows. The minivan even has an AI system that adjusts the lighting and temperature for you.

One of the coolest features is the massive 65-inch display mounted behind the tailgate. You can use it to watch movies, make video calls, set up a play area for kids, or even create a private office. There's also a sliding table to help you work remotely.

The LDK+ runs on Foxconn's EV open platform. It's powered by a battery pack that can double as a backup power source for your home during emergencies. The roof has solar panels for charging, but of course, that depends on how much sun you get.

Sharp worked with Foxconn (who owns most of Sharp) and Folofly Corporation to develop the LDK+. Right now, they haven't said if they'll actually make this minivan for people to buy.
