It recharges off brakes AND/OR the engine. The system can and will use the 2.0 as a generator. It even has a mode (e-save) that literally lets you toggle it as a generator while driving so that if you are trying to top off the battery for some silent off roading at the destination you can hit that button and it will recharge slowly. In that 400 mile Texas trip you can actually charge it back to 100% by time you get there.
Ok. The 6th & 7th words of my opening line were “forward progress”
Adding a word doesn't change the meaning, can you have backwards progress? let's not play "what the meaning of IS IS"
Yep. Cant wait for the 4xewww version of the JT. Ill just buy a rivian at that point
Lol ok. It is progression. Is it the end-all, be all right now? No. But it’s a necessary step forward to get off the fossil fuels.
Maybe some do
I like options, but why is it necessary to move away from fossil fuels?
wait until the complicated system failed when you are in the wild, guess who will have the last laugh????
Diesel on bio does that also, I'm curious how you know that current electric vehicles are not the CFL bulbs of the auto world? Why force the evolution and not let it happen naturally, it's almost as some people think the oil companies have no clue at all that thier product has a finite supply....
By every measure we are cleaner and better off now than 100 years ago even though population has almost tripled and standard of living risen worldwide
Dealer plate maybe, but manufacturer plate no
Manufacturer plate yes. There were 4 of them at Kokomo plants when I was working the 2.0 engine retool. They are Corporate vehicles never designated for retail sales. Not the first company to do it, won't be the last. When they've lived their life, they will be crushed.
