STEP ACCESS TO A VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT

A step system for access to the interior of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The apparatus is located at the front center of the vehicle. Advantageously, the access is for both driver and passengers, allowing close proximity for the driver to reach a seated position from outside the vehicle. In addition, eliminating multiple doors and having one entry point saves construction cost. Access is provided between the front headlights or front left and right wheels, unobstructed by an engine compartment which is typically absent in an electrically powered vehicle. Steps rotate down to provide convenient access from ground level. In the closed position, the step apparatus integrates into the front body of the vehicle thus enabling the vehicle to operate unobstructed.
