- Nio is huge in China and, potentially, could rival Tesla.formed

- about time. It's got a million times more energy potential than anything, and its so abundant._niko
- So it has two large hydrogen cylinders running lengthwise down the middle of the car... def scary in best circumstances, what happens if this car gets t-boned?prophetone
- ... and zero luggage space.
The tech is the way to go mind.
Looks pretty though.ShaneHolley

First vehicle made in Scotland in decades, the all-electric Munro MK1. It's perhaps a wee bit *too* brutal, but given the concessions the INEOS Grenadier had to make to Land Rover's legal department (boo), it's still quite cool, I think.

- Nice. it does look exceptionally long thoughIanbolton
- How exactly is this going to work thru those highlands without breaking in half or getting stuck?grafician
- i'm really not too sure about the point of ev 4x4s. given that they're designed to operate in the middle of nowhere how are you supposed to recharge them?hans_glib
- and try parking that fugly box in a willy low's recharge pointhans_glib
- Mmm, good point - I'd write them a letter - they might want to be warned about that before they go into production.Nairn
- I think the gains in efficiency and pure torque power vastly outweigh re-fueling in the field concerns. They've pre-sold 3k+ of these to US industrial companiesNairn
- dear munro,
your fugly ev-box is ill conceived, so you might want to rethink. also i get the s1 landy is iconic, but ffs get your own look, y'ken?
love hanshans_glib - does that read ok?hans_glib
- lol, actually I wrote that to graf before you posted, but it applies to you too :)Nairn
- If these are sold to the US, then yeah, ofc, that explains a LOTgrafician

- I watched most of it but couldn't find the bit where he explained why he left in that garage for 30yrs. Especially when it was perfect and he wanted to keep it!Hayzilla

They are a new Chinese design, though.

why do electric cars look like internal combustion cars? surely the lack of need for a massive engine and fuel storage means we dont need a bonnet/hood
- Surely!Nairn
- bonnet can b used for storage and also acts as a VERY important crumple-zone.
Would much rather have a head-on in a car with a bonnet than no bonnet.microkorg - Because they still need to use existing infrastructure - which btw is modelled after old Roman war carriagesgrafician
- That's width, not length.Nairn

I absolutely love the Rivian R1S. Easily my favorite EV out of all of them. A total "lust-for-it" car that I could never justify buying at $97k. It's also cool to see that they're made in Normal, Illinois, and that their "gear" includes a lot of branded and specialty products that you don't see many or any other EV car brands doing.
- Link to their gear shop with those products - https://rivian.com/g…mg33
- OverweightOBBTKN
- I love their truck, everything except the headlights!fooler
- They'll do well with these. $97k isn't much for a luxury SUV (or even a luxury car). We'll see how maintenance is in all these semi-exotic brands soon enough.formed
- My friend works for them and is trading in his T for the S. They're as nice as a range rover and as fast as a sports car.Frosty_spl
- They look like the baby car that a Ranger Rover and a new Bronco would have if they mated, and I love it for that reason.mg33
- Looks like a refrigerator on wheels.utopian
- its lovely from all angles except the front.. which looks completely shit.. is it supposed to be some emoji face or something?dee-dubs
