Our Gladiators canā€™t do this though.

Wow, that's the first vehicle I have seen that makes the old early 1970s slabside IH pickups look svelte and swoopy by comparison
I came close to buying a Scout as my first vehicle when I was a Senior in HS. Ended up with a Chevy LUV.

That thing makes a Hummer H1 look sexy.

200 mile range (epa est). No vehicle ever gets the listed mileage or range. And the estimated range doesn't include load, stop/go traffic and A/C use during the summer or cold temps in winter reducing battery capacity. So more realistic estimate of range is 100 miles loaded.

this truck won't make it across Houston and back without recharging. With a full load, you might not even make it out of town.

75 minutes to fast charge it or 10 hours normal charging.

Better plan on taking extra food, water and a change of clothes. You're going to need it.

Looks like Jeep Wrangler, new Ford Bronco, and the old Defenders all had an orgy and this is the result.

I think a UPS truck was in on the event also, between the tail lights and general slab profiles- actually, I like the truck version of the Bollinger, from a standpoint of form matching function, but I think that the SUV version looks terrible.

Well, I like the idea. But, this looks like something that cost 5,000, not 125,000. I'm looking forward to the time when electric vehicles are mainstream and inexpensive, because they ARE a better choice in terms of performance, but they aren't cheap and I don't think production is efficient enough at this point to say we are helping the environment all that much with them. I think we will get there in a few years though.
Yeah I personally donā€™t think that they are helping the environment that much when you consider that most of them are coal powered and then factor in the battery production/disposal considerations. I donā€™t think the tech is there yet.
