how this can catch on unfortunately. It’s a bare bones traditional size single cab pickup for $25,000.
It has manual roll down and up windows. No heat or air conditioning and is rear drive only.
This is all from memory, I believe the range is 200 miles or even less. Charging from a regular plug is a great feature as some cars require charging units into the thousands of dollars. The truck is designed for the missing items such as heat, AC and auto windows can easily be added later on. Not sure about 4 wheel drive.
It’s designed for talented home mechanics to add these features.
I could be wrong, I don’t see these catching on to any major degree.
