1. How is the outward visibility?
2. When is the PHEV version coming?

Agree on the kit car aspect of many electric conversions now. Those make me very nervous. However, once the Big 3 (or another company) offer the whole kit-and-caboodle of electric motor, battery, battery management system, etc. as an integrated system like some are beginning to show/offer, it’s a whole new world.

We went the wrong way down streets, down sidewalks, pretty sure through the living room of a family in Queens.

Complete ones, sure. That being said, how many project cars are out there in various states of disrepair due to a blown motor, junked carb, etc.?

1. How is the outward visibility?

Yup. A home A/C unit is 2 to 10 kW. Level 2 workplace (or home) charging is about the same. You can charge up to 19.2 kW, but most USPS mail vans won’t need more than 3 or 4 kW overnight to recharge their daily energy use.

Not really. There are trenching and contractor costs, but due to the low daily mileage, not much power and energy and hence charging infrastructure is required.

Agreed.

How’s 20.8 miles per day with 500 stops at 13.8 mph? https://www.greatbusinessschools.org/usps-long-life-vehicle/

You gotta love Jeep - how many owners did they make it through?

Except the lane the Prius was in is a “right-turn only” lane. Instead the Prius went straight.

My interpretation of the accident report (lots of caveats/grain of salt) is this:

Don’t worry. Hyundai/Kia are coming for the OEMs... guns blazing. If I were Toyota, I would be very, very worried about their Korea rivals.

Guess who’s back... guess who’s back... guess who’s back...nahnahnahnah.

AMC Eagle, represent!

Uh, why is this not a plug-in hybrid?

1st: San Francisco local here. There are numerous issues wrapped up in the Cruise discussion, but as far as the incident with the Toyota Prius, it looks like the westbound (on Geary) Prius driver went straight in a right-hand turn only lane and hit the side of the eastbound (on Geary) Cruise vehicle that was turning

True, but Tesla didn’t have to conform with some of the same requirements since they operate both EV and the station as one system; the rest of the OEMs have the EV, leaving the charging station to the free market. So this triggers a bunch of electric safety regs (and the OEMs’ interpretation of the regs) which ends

First: Rivian has grown so quickly, one can easily imaging some overlap.
