This 🙏💀

If Toyota’s hybrids are anything to go by, simple bolt ons can produce more power than the ECUs mapping were expecting - and causes the car to cut power.

If we’re being real here, Ford could’ve brought the Maverick Hybrid back when they were building their Escape Hybrid, back in the 2000s.

Why is this impressive? The original Hyundai Ioniq achieved 150mpge city, 122 highway, but in a much more affordable, lighter and practical package.

Purposes that only serves as a detriment to other road users

I know, lol. Closest thing is one of those $4,000 Chinese MINI EVs that recently came as a cabriolet 

Honda N-van EV

Afaik, there’s a small choosing of dedicated mechanic in Australia, NewZealand and European who can upgrade iMiEVs with Outlander PHEV Batteries.

Both are body on frame built too...

i-MiEV needs much love. Not only is it the kind of car that’s needed now (electric, affordable and light) , it’s also exceedingly rare everywhere, more so in North America. Treasure it.

It's shocking that this is only being highlighted now...

Abd let’s be honest.

Series/Parallel. That's the reason why. Ford makes them too and their reliability is proven. What they achieve through planetary gear sets is the ability to reduce or disconnect the load from the road away from the engine. That's what the large electric motor does. 

I’ve been angered by this since 2011

But after all this time, Toyota couldn’t bother making a 30 mile plug in hybrid before California regulations pushed them. Or even a hybrid truck ...

But they and their dealers up until recently would much rather you buy petrol or diesel over hybrid. There’s a lot more to this.

Im familiar with Captain chairs (in Renault Espaces and Chrysler Voyagers in Europe). But isn’t a bench not more practically flexible?

And still charge 60 grand for it

I’d strongly beg to differ. 

No Aptera?
