Uh... once the battery is deplayeed, it gets way better than 18 mpg. Try 25-32 mpg. Your mileage may vary.

2016-2019 Pro-4x with the six speed manual. Done.

It be great to see electric pickup trucks on the market. Most sound like they are fully electric, but Jeep did announce a PHEV version of the Gladiator last week.

Ha ha ha ha ha. So much this. Who needs outward visibility when we have cameras and tech? Thicken the pillars! Raise the beltline! Shrink the windows. Paint over the glass.

While I have no love for the Empire Amazon, fleets of all shapes and sizes track their drivers’ behavior and vehicle route and performance. In other words, this isn’t new.

When “more” is simply not enough , the Cizeta Moroder has you covered:

This.

And if they like 4Runners, they can walk into a dealership and say, “Hey this 2021 is just like our 2011, but with CarPlay.”

4th: Just for the record, the new car market in Germany is quite different than in the U.S.

And A pillars!

Agreed. It’s the corporate equivalent of “just one more Oreo cookie...” And then another. And another. It’s not bad in the long-term. The snazzy commercial told me so.

So much this. I liked the looks upon first glance but then... why is the hood so high? Pedestrian crash standards? How many pedestrians get hit because the driver can no longer see them?

LBNL re-releases a paper from late 2019: Long-haul battery electric trucks are technically feasible and economically compelling.

You’re spot on. From the automotive industry perspective, it’s anything from a (very) mild hybrid to a PHEV to a full electric to a hydrogen fuel cell. Those are all “electrified.” From the electric utility perspective, their definition is whether or not it plugs into the wall... PHEV and BEV.

You are aware of what goes into fuel cells, right? Hint: it’s not recycled newspaper and cardboard.

This is a great example of where hydrogen makes sense. It also does on big ocean-going ships.

There is a subset of utility customers today who take electric power today from transmission lines. This may be the case here for charging plazas. A single cruise ship when docked and connected to shore power is 5-10 MW.

So much this. Assumptions on fuel cell life vary widely.

This. There may be a role for hydrogen or other liquid fuels in long-haul trucking.
