Would replace my 2008 Entourage if only they offered a pHEV.

6#/gallon x 45 = 270#, or an average market pig in the bed.

Yes, PHEVS for everyone gives us the best of both worlds. 30 miles of electric for 90% of drives, and a few gallons of gas for the last 10%. Spread the batteries around like that and the materials shortages become less daunting.

I think I see two throttle cables above the yoke, it potentially “tank-turna” using thrust differential? It was also doing some donuts in the vid.

They should have sent a poet. And gouged her eyes out before she had to look at ANY of these!

I suppose dozen-axle vehicles could be part of the special build to spread the load. And why even pipe? Just drop some tethered turbines in the stream and call it a day.

Also, PHEVS may be NECESSARY because we don’t have the materials and capacity to make the millions of huge battery packs for distance-capable pure EVs. Much better to put a small-to-middling battery in every ICE vehicle, as fast as we can. I’m my third EV because they work for my mostly urban-homeowner needs, but I hav…

So lets say 10,000 gallon tanker that weighs 35,000 pound on its own, 8.3 pounds per gallon, say a tallish mountain is 3000m, regenerative braking is maybe 70% efficient, so one run is worth 305kWh, which gets you six top-offs for an average passenger EV or runs a household for a week and a half.

All our mountain lakes are drying up in CA. Can we use this system in reverse? :P

Ultrasexy side view. Even like the exaggerated Volvo hockey stick tail lights!

I don’t mind it al all. Has a little flavor of a Noble to it.

Because Earth needs lighter weight vehicles that go further on limited amounts of energy. Steel coils weigh about 8 pounds (?) and if the 75% reduction holds up (pun intended) that’s like having one 8# spring instead of four for 32#.

So Canoo, but real.

No KC lights, No Retro.

That really looks like a Department of Corrections livery. Appropriate for the school to prison to hopeless projects pipeline.  :P

I have some hopes that the Italian Wingamm might be a bit better, too, with its fiberglass monocoque.

I saw a piece somewhere that the average RV build crews are just whatever meth heads show up outside the shop on a given day.
