That could be pretty badass if it is actually delivered at that price. I hope they’re successful.

If it was combustion engine at $20,000 I’d be more interested

Agreed. Cool concept though. And after I read up on them they’re really more like $30k. They just say $20k because of possible fed/state tax credits.

If I wasn't going to be off-road, pulling a trailer, going further than 200 miles round trip with some hidden gay tendencies I've suppressed, an electric vehicle might be in my future.

Unfortunately, I've usually got a trailer, in the shit, no where near a plug in and I love tittes so....

That's some gay ass shit right there. You might want to rewrite that unless of course....

Unfortunately, I've usually got a trailer, in the shit, no where near a plug in and I love tittes so....

Nowadays, "in the shit" after saying you're gay sounds gay AF and dudes have titties now; not that it's something you shouldn't do, to each his own, but ok.

Only you

Hell yeah, man.

Are there any vehicles that can operate fully with both electricity and ICE? I know Toyota has a hybrid system that is EV at low speed/rpm and ICE for normal driving, but that’s not exactly what I’m talking about. I’m talking about something that if you run out of ICE fuel 150ish miles from your destination, you could switch over to electric power and get back home.

I think most plug-in hybrids can run on electric only, PHEV's have larger batteries than a normal non-plug in or regenerative hybrid.

Planning on putting a deposit down on one. I have a real truck for truck stuff, but this would be great for commuting and running errands. Honestly, it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for.

PHEVs and “range extender” BEVs can generally run electric-only until the batteries get low, then they’ll kick in the ICE, but I don’t know of any that will run on the ICE until it gets low on fuel then switch to electric. That’s kinda contrary to the purpose of hybrids, so I wouldn’t expect to find any that run that way, but who knows.

If I lived in the metro area I feel the same way… but then again I’m kind of like… maybe a used older Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Frontier would be better? I don’t know… tough call.

I'll stay with gas vehicles, can get fuel near anywhere.

with an electric vehicle, some of the places I go, I'd end up having to take a gas generator with me to charge vehicle's batteries so it could could still be driven.
