Ive already reserved one .
After driving an Electric 4x4 for almost a year I’ll never buy another Petrol / Deisel car.
No it was never intended as a tourer . I built it to evaluate the pros & cons of EV's I never expected to get more than 100km range per charge.
However 3 x Electric Busses (full size coaches) have just come up for sale , they typically do 450-500 km per charge and one broke over 1000km per charge. The motor & batteries from one of these in my Iveco would do well over 1000km . the tech is there right now & is only going to get better.
The Bollinger B1 as it stands now will do me just fine as a tourer. by the time there are consumer ready will be much better too.
Kind of what im thinking also. BUT 200mile range on the big battery before a long recharge. I was thinking a solar roof would help but the press rep says its not worth it for the trickle of power it would provide. So i cant see how it would work for me as a weekend away in the high country. Farmers though i can see this working as they can plug in over night. Am i missing something?
I think I am missing something.
I cant see this vehicle passing crash tests let alone pedestrian and passenger protection.
It may get through some of the USA tests but wont make it here from what I can see.
They've got 2 years to get it all ok'd but they're talking production availability at that time.
Dont part with any money folks.
Carry a fuel generator for off grid recharge maybe? I have an electrically assisted bicycle and the motor on it’s bombproof with lots of torque. They’re now building electric truck prime movers with surprising range. I can see this becoming a reality in the not so distant future. Lots of road transport in Oz. At some point soon we’ll see fast charging stations for trucks going in.
