I don't really keep up to date with all the electric car manufacturers but....
One of my customers is dealing with Canoo, never heard of them till it was mentioned today.

The pickup looks odd but I'm sure you'd get used to it.

I like the look of the pickup - sort of reminds me of a 21st Century version of the 101. [emoji106]

My sister in law works for Safescape in Bendigo. They have also produced an interesting EV recently:

Reminds me of the chariot from the original lost in space.

EVs seem logical in underground mining to avoid problems caused by exhaust emissions. If they could make these vehicles easily repairable for a longer life in harsh conditions the mining companies could save a lot of money by not having to replace their vehicles so frequently. These vehicles could also have potential in other work situations such as agriculture, I would think. Good to see some Australian ingenuity at work.
