More info
They do say that they also offer a larger battery pack with a 240 mi range, but yeah, even so, it’s not gonna be a great vehicle for long-distance highway travel compared to a current ICE vehicle. Fine for a commuter, though.
I do have a concern about that; a lot of pickup truck missions are go-and-get-it. The best lumber yard in my area just happens to be about 75 miles away. Not a problem for my S10, right on the cusp of what this thing can do.
Don’t buy a truck if you’re just a daily commuter, that’s just plain dumb. Get a BEV with much better efficiency and a tow hitch for the occasional needs.
The truck form is just one of the body options for it. I mean, you can’t get it in sedan form, but the website configurator thing has options for small SUV and fastback.
A bacon egg vehicle?
Battery Electric Vehicle
But…it has a battery? What makes the difference?
This truck is also a BEV, didn’t say it wasn’t. I’m saying go buy a BEV that’s not a truck (and they all have better efficiency than trucks) that has a tow hitch instead of this if you’re just commuting.
Yeah, but you can’t get a new one at this price. You’d be pushing getting a used one with this range on the battery at this price.
Gotcha, I misread what you were saying and thought you were saying this truck and a BEV were different vehicles. But you just meant it’s not as good a BEV for someone that wants to commute. Correct?
Yes exactly
I very much doubt their target market is people commuting to the office.
I want it as a commuter because it’s cheap and can be used as a weekend project truck. The second part isn’t necessary, but it’s nice to not need to rent one.
