you posted this is happy thread.
the truck has 33mpg on highway...which means its not really that efficient.
batteries will loose efficiency quite fast.

Overall though it looks impressive.

33 on the highway? WTF? That sucks.

 

What's that then in Km/L?

 

About 14km/l

 

That is not very good.

 

No, but it's not very bad either.
And if you mostly drive in the city the car makes a huge difference.

 

Why would anyone want a truck in the first place?

 

If you have stuff to move from one place to another it might come in handy.

 

I checked out the video. It's not even a truck. It's a pickup truck.

 

Yea, so ?
You just watched the vid ? lol

 

That truck seemed as convenient as a nose on your arse. Imagine moving your furniture on the back of that. When it rains. Imagine how high you have to lift stuff. It's impractical.

 

That's not really the point now, is it ?

 

Of course it is the point. We shouldn't have pointless cars that waste energy.

 

Waste energy ? I urge you to read the OP again..

 

Obviously that kind of truck isn't needed. Hence any petrol is wasted on it.

WTF are you talking about? Maybe some city dweller might not need one, but for people who live in the country or work in the trades, they are a must.

 

How come it isn't seen as a necessity in Europe? Anyone driving a pickup is seen as a moron because everybody knows that they are not particularly good at anything.
