Who in the hell would take an EV into the desert?
I guess you could carry some jerry cans and a generator, but you ain't getting home any time soon.
Cracks me up that they keep advertising these things as over landers. Just make them for the roads, we they can be recharged.
nah just install some solar panels and you're golden....
my goodness iits got an 80grand US starting price.....

All electric is cool but realistically for the next 10 years Id want something more along the lines of this:

Dunno why they think this is proprietary. Its not a new idea. But this is what I always wanted for a hybrid truck.
All electric power but with a gas powered generator as well as a good battery. This could give you massive range and power besides good fuel economy. I mean its the same principle behind bulldozers. Id sooner buy this than a full electric until the fancy new batts come out like Toyotas solid state batts they expect to be ready by end of the decade.

Agreed. If we're to move to EVs then they need to stop with nonsense like this, and roll out cars and small SUVs/Vans with it instead that are priced like typical new cars.

EV's fall under 2 categories: Ones for rich people (Tesla, Taycan, Hummer) and econo shitboxes for the masses (Leaf, Kona, etc)
Theres no real in between right now. You either have to get something you can't afford, or you have to get something you dont really want...and its compromised in some way (usually Range)
I'd rock a Honda E but thats not available here nor does it have good range, plus i think its kind of expensive for what it is.
Im REALLY waiting on the VW ID.buzz hippy van remake. That's the one I'd want....but i dont konw when that's coming, and i fear it'll be Tesla priced.....
Plus im not ready to go EV just yet. I still want to enjoy my ICE cars!

Hybrids are the way to go for the next 10 years. Great fuel economy and range and more power. Theres a metric ton of them coming out the newxt couple years. Curious to see how the F150 and other pickups will do hybrid.
