I doubt it. But it is a prototype concept vehicle. I suspect any vehicle brought to market will be double that range.Only gets 125 miles per charge and no back up fuel system. Anyone interested in that?
One concept that really came was the HD Liverwire. The concept had only a 7KWH battery. When it hit the market, it had a 15.5 KWH battery. More than double the range.Only gets 125 miles per charge and no back up fuel system.
They have to be interesting to get people interested in the concept to see if they can really do it. But I refuse to even look at concepts as I don't care about what will NEVER exist. Even if they get enough interest and pre-orders, it will not have the same specs by the time it can be purchased. But most likely, the specs will be better by then anyway.I found the article interesting.
You have been BSed! CA has more than enough energy right now for 100% EVs. That is if everybody charges well away from peak times, as most do anyway. My Tesla starts to charge at 0030 hrs, perhaps once every couple of weeks or so. Most people only drive around 30 miles per day, me much less, most of the time (perhaps even on these RV trips as I often stop for a week or two). So every ten days or so most will need a midnight charge while sleeping.California can’t keep the lights on now. What happens when tens of thousands of electric vehicles get put on charge every day?
The other problem that must be solved is generating capacity. California can’t keep the lights on now. What happens when tens of thousands of electric vehicles get put on charge every day?
In a sense these ”concept vehicles” have the cart before the horse. As a nation we need to build new generating capacity before we encourage everyone to go out and buy an electric vehicle. We also need to be honest about the pollution issue. It does not go away with electric vehicles.
