CHAPTER 48: RECONSTRUCTING AN EV VEHICLE

It was late in the evening, at around 11:30 P.M. Timothy had arrived at his dealership store in Tondo Manila. The street was quiet now and there were no people to be seen.

He turned off the engine of his Ford Raptor and stepped out. He walked over to the small door of a huge sliding gate and then inserted a key. With a twist, he unlocked the door and went inside.

Inside, there were 8 newly reconstructed vehicles ranging from hatchback to suv. He hadn’t been focusing on this business since he had gotten eight billion dollars. And he hasn’t put them up into listing yet so there’s not much of an inquiry for the vehicles.

And this is perfect because he could now use his reconstruction system to transform a vehicle into a prototype of what would be the lineup of his automotive company.

He approached the 2022 Gray Corolla Altis GR-S. Then he contemplated the prompts he would use to transform it into a highly-advanced lithium-ion vehicle.

But before that, let’s learn first what are the lithium-ion batteries and what top car manufacturing companies use.

Lithium-ion batteries. The heart of every electric vehicle.

At their core, they worked through chemistry—lithium ions shuttling back and forth between the anode and the cathode during charging and discharging. Simple in theory, but in practice, they were complicated beasts. Energy density, charging speed, safety, all of it depended on the materials used and how the cells were structured.

Tesla, the king of EVs, leaned heavily on cylindrical cells—most famously the 2170 and the newer 4680 format. They offered good energy density and were relatively cheap to scale, but they weren’t perfect. Heat buildup, risk of fire, and slow degradation over time still plagued them.

On the other side, BYD and a growing number of Chinese companies favored LFP—lithium iron phosphate cells. Safer, longer-lasting, cheaper to produce. But the trade-off was clear: lower energy density. They made cars affordable, but not groundbreaking.

And that was the problem—they all sucked in one way or another. Tesla’s cells were powerful but carried risks, while BYD’s were safe but lacked the punch needed to truly revolutionize range and performance.

That’s where I’ll step in.

He had the system, and with it, he could push lithium-ion design further—higher energy density without the fire hazards, longer cycles without losing capacity, and charging times slashed to the point where "range anxiety" would be a phrase of the past.

Now, how would he prompt a perfect EV vehicle? Again, the reconstruction system reminded him to be specific with his words. The deal is in the details.

He began to type the prompt in his mind.

[Reconstruct this 2022 Corolla Altis GR-S into advanced EV sedan prototype. The specifications are:

Battery: Next-generation lithium-ion architecture with triple energy density, 1,200 km range, 10-minute ultra-fast charging, zero fire hazard risk, 15-year lifespan with minimal degradation.

Motors: Dual high-efficiency electric motors with combined 650 horsepower, instant torque, and AWD intelligent distribution.

Safety: Reinforced crash structure with aerospace-grade alloys, AI-controlled stability, adaptive crumple zones, 360-degree collision detection.

Driver Assist: Full autonomous driving suite, lidar, radar, and vision fusion, capable of hands-free operation in any environment.

Interior: Luxury-level comfort, noise-canceling cabin, AR heads-up display, AI-powered personal assistant.

Design: Aerodynamic body overhaul with sleek, futuristic styling, premium LED lighting system, panoramic glass roof.

Lastly, the schematics and a detailed blueprint of the vehicle.

Timothy whispered the final confirmation. "Execute."

The system pulsed, and suddenly, the Corolla shimmered before his eyes. Its frame glowed faintly as parts bent, shifted, and restructured. Panels smoothed into a more aggressive silhouette, headlights morphed into razor-thin LED strips, and the faint hum of a newly forged electric powertrain resonated in the air.

Within moments, the plain Corolla Altis was gone. And in its place was an aesthetically-looking vehicle.

Timothy circled the car slowly, scanning the exterior of the vehicle.

"This is damn..."

Timothy opened the driver’s door. The handle slid out automatically at his touch, smooth and effortless. Inside, the cabin glowed with a soft ambient light. The seats were wrapped in leather-like material that adjusted firmness as he sat, while the panoramic glass roof revealed the stars above.

Then he found the key of the vehicle on the center console and tried starting it. Unlike the internal combustion engine cars where you’d hear the growl or rumble as it comes alive, the EV responded with silence. A soft chime echoed in the cabin, the dashboard lighting up in a futuristic display. The AR heads-up system projected holographic menus directly on the windshield, crisp and clear, almost like something out of a sci-fi movie.

"System online," the AI assistant’s voice greeted him. "Battery at one hundred percent. Estimated range: one thousand two hundred kilometers."

Timothy grinned. He wrapped his fingers around the steering wheel. It felt different—firmer, yet responsive, as if it had been designed to anticipate his grip. He shifted into drive and gently pressed the accelerator. The response was instant. The car glided forward silently, smooth as air.

Inside the dealership, he maneuvered it slowly around the open floor space. Even at low speed, he could feel the insane torque waiting under his foot, restrained only because he wasn’t pushing it.

The 360-degree collision detection flashed on the display as the car automatically slowed near a wall, sensors outlining the distance in real time. The AI stability system even adjusted steering slightly when he turned too sharp, preventing oversteer. It was like driving with an invisible co-pilot who refused to let him crash.

He parked it back at the center and leaned back in his seat, staring at the glowing interface.

"This is it, this is the start of my automotive business," Timothy muttered to himself, and then he grinned. He looked around him, his eyes landing on each car on the lot. Pickup trucks, SUV, Hatchbacks, MPV.

If he was going to start his own car company, he needs to have a lineup of EV vehicles for each segment.
