HOW MUCH FOSSIL FUEL IS BURNED TO GENERATE THE ELECTRICITY TO CHARGE YOUR EV?
Polaris need to make sure they don’t osbourne the rest of their lineup, would love to see an electric Rzr very soon but I have a feeling they may drag their feet a bit and squeeze a bit more out of the ice first
Pininfarina looks better than the Rimac, but I don’t think they can compete with the tec
If China government wasn’t playing silly buggers at the moment then I’d be loading up on byd
Audi looks like a hot wheels car
Like the Genesis looks and spec
Lightyear is a Dutch company! Not from Finland.
Utility vehicles always made more sense to me for electric vehicles. Close to a charger, good usage of low-speed torque, high speed not required; a local electric utility vehicle makes a lot of sense. At least until we build out electrical infrastructure so people don't have to plan trips/real estate purchases/job locations around charger availability, I don't see the point of electric cars as anything other than toys and short-range commuters for the lucky few who have their charging issues sorted out.
For seeing that it has a Cadillac escalade ESV Electric like 2020
