The first EV ute is being released by LDV.
I expect it will take over from Toyota Hilux immediately, if not sooner. (sarc)

Hard to say which is worse, the presentation or the subject matter, but this is difficult to watch. Food for thought if you live in a cyclone region:

It is often stated that EVs have fewer moving parts than ICE vehicles so the opportunity for problems is less.
This video by Vlogger Watch JR go shows what can go wrong on a 9 year old Tesla.
Not to mention the 3or more water pumps, electric power steering ,12 volt battery.
Water pumps are often a troublesome thing on ICE cars so maybe on a Tesla also.

PS after Mario's comment on my smelly noisy dirty two stroke I think I have an answer Unlike a American option it looks like a doable swap but the current battery tech and lack of fuel cell tech would make my boat inshore only

Evoy electric and powerful outboard motor systems
Motor is great- Battery tech is not YET offshore range wise for this black duck. Motors from Norway - Love to visit
Ouch!!!! Way heavier than my engines and that’s without battery packs (and 2 motors in my case).
I’ll stick with the planned 4st upgrades, they’re so quiet it doesn’t bother me. Plus my 200km range helps [emoji6]
BTW, in the latest "Road Ahead" by the NRMA They advise that they have commissioned 2 rescue vehicles with generators to charge out of range EVs enough to get to the next charger.
One will be in Wollongong and I cannot remember the other but have a feeling Goulbourne.
I threw it away in disbelief when they tested an EV towing a box trailer and stated that it only lost 25% range and opined that yes that an EV can tow but maybe not a caravan because of the air resistance.
haven't they read any USA or UK tests where they lose over 50% of range towing anything larger than abox trailer? Hoovie lost over 50% towing a car trailer with a Ford Lightning.
My D2 loses about 30% towing my Coromal 505 offroad van from about 10.5 to 13.5 L per 100Km.
I hope no dewy eyed City-zen goes out and buys one for their occasional caravan towing. Law Suits all around.
