I can't wait to have my first EV when I'll be able to energize the vehicle at home and avoid going to gas stations to refuel.
With my typical use case (about 25 miles per day), I may be able to get away with level-I charging most often, and at times when electric rates are at the lowest level...
If the Harvester engine default setting is at 50% battery level, does that mean the theoretical range would be 300 miles if the Harvester is set to not turn on and charge the battery while moving? Of course this means you would be stopped after 300 miles while charging the battery because the...
I already have the BEV reserved but I feel bad for those that want the EREV for long distance driving with heavier loads.
The EREV LFP battery must weigh a lot more than the NMC type that will be in the BEV models. If that is the case, maybe it would be a good option to get a smaller NMC...
I don't know much about gasoline powered generators but this info from Copilot AI FYI:
In Extended Range Electric Vehicles (EREVs), the internal combustion engine (ICE) primarily acts as a generator to recharge the battery rather than directly powering the vehicle. This setup subjects the ICE...
I get it. Unfortunately, there has to be a trade off between BEV and EREV models if the chassis is going to be the same configuration and size. If the EREV battery size could get 350 miles of battery only range, that means there won't be any space for the gas tank. Maybe the 150 battery range...
My understanding is that the Harvester gas tank will replace the space left over by the reduced all BEV battery size. On average, I think gasoline is about 2.5 times heavier than current EV batteries by unit volume.
There will also be the extra weight of the gasoline engine/generator. I'm not...
The two new Scout models are the best examples of automotive design, in terms of form and proportions, I can remember.
Here is a good design language review:
There may be an aftermarket solar tonneau cover available by then.
