Is this really a #sustainable, #visionzero future? Burns more CO2/mi than a small gas car, 2x the raw battery materials, harder to see pedestrians, destroying roads + tons of rubber tire particles, ensuring there will be nothing left of any smaller vehicle in a crash #EVs

[Kirsten Korosec @kirstenkorosec]

There's obviously more to this vehicle than the battery, but wow. just wow - the company didn't share the weight but the standard is 168kWh and the optional is 229 kWh for a targeted 500-mile range. Reminder: the GMC hummer EV has a 212 kWh battery pack

Sharing some fun news to start the week about making Faction (@factionmoto) driverless vehicle platform technologies available to new OEM partners!

This isn't how we save the world #ev #carbonfootprint

Gotta love that @ElectrekCo's top 3 stories are all #ev trucks

[Jason Marks @JasonMarksEV]

And the best part is all of these cars are over 25 years old, so they're all fair game for import! #jdm #keicar

That's what I appreciates about you @Nissan

Bring it to America #jeep - our own little electric range rover

@lopp This cracks me up

Who else is excited for the supposed launch of the Suzuki Jimny 4-Door at the 2023 Auto Expo Friday? If only we could get them in the US #SUV

My big takeaways from the #electric RAM is 3rd row seating 👍 and if the math checks out, the battery pack will be bigger and heavier than the Hummer #EV's 👎:

(350kw charge * 10min per 100mi / 60min per hr * 500mi range / 100mi charge = 292 kWh)

Here are my top predictions for 2023:

- Solid state battery prototype vehicle demos
- Smaller concept vehicles announced
- @Tesla bounces back
- @Rivian hits manufacturing stride
- Fewer #EV sedans sold
- Foxconn delivers vehicles
- Pedestrian safety emphasized by @NHTSAgov

[David Zipper @DavidZipper]

You don’t say

[Jason Marks @JasonMarksEV]

@NIOGlobal's claim of "the most aerodynamic #EV globally" is most likely a mistranslation, since @MercedesBenzUSA and @Tesla have sedans with lower Cd and frontal area. And if you consider the Model Y an SUV, then this probably has the same CdA.

Between the Ford Maverick, and Hyundai Santa Cruz, and now the Toyota Stout, the small-pickup market is really standing out. Maybe we don't all want giant road-hogs. #pickuptruck #truckgang

I love the focus on safety in this article, but I think pedestrian visibility and impact energy need to be considered in some of these tests #Rivian #ElectricVehicles #ev @IIHS_autosafety

@TheEVuniverse Drawing maximum continuous battery current

[Jason Marks @JasonMarksEV]

Unsurprising since there's so much downstream effect of supply chain with the @Ford F150. I think the $50-$60k pricepoint for an entry-level pickup will be the standard moving forward. #ElectricVehicles #EV

The McMurtry Speirling hits 0-60 in sub-1.5s and a 7s quarter mile... THIS is the future of #ElectricVehicles

What makes the most difference for #towing with an #ev pickup with a set trailer weight?

- Trailer Aerodynamic
- Trailer Tire Rolling Resistance
- Trailer Frontal Area

Hint: They each have a proportional value in the range equation. #ElectricVehicles #rangeanxiety
