    I think I posted a similar article on this a while back (probably from same website too). Small update on the Bollinger electric Land Rov...er.. 'B1'.

    • Maybe the new Defender show look more like this instead of that "Chelsea tractor"(something I read in a YT comment)dmay
    • Thats the ugliest thing I've ever seen. Sorry.Hayzilla
    • I appreciate the effort, but they made that 4-door Jeep that everyone has, but somehow uglier. The lines hurt.garbage
    • i know these guys. started in a tiny (and i mean TINY) town in upstate NY. electric is perfect for hard working truckshardhat
    • i like the sheer brutality of it.hans_glib
    • Revisiting it: It looks good at 90 degree angles. @hardhat agreed. There's a good documentary that you might have seen called "Who Killed the Electric Car?".garbage
    • My uncle (who lives in Mississippi of all places) had a friend who was a part of an electric truck project by a major manufacturer in the 90s.garbage
    • He said that he was amazed at how effective it was as a work vehicle, and then project was revoked for "reasons". Hmm...garbage
    • Torque on EVs is brutal, so great for Work Environment. Trouble is, batteries were shit back in the 90s. Now? I think most site vehicles will go EV very soon...Nairn
    • ..I can even imagine some construction stuff getting plugged in, because why the fuck not?Nairn
    • The only thing EV suffers from (and it's only a minor issue) is range. Or, sustained top-end output, but that's only for race cars and cretins with tiny dicks.Nairn
    • Actually, cretins with tiny dicks only like to fartblast around towns for short sustained periods before they dampen their Y-Fronts prematurely.Nairn
    • You lost me at Y-Fronts, lol.garbage
    • speaking of range / power issues: https://www.cnbc.com…PonyBoy
    • A lot of people won't like it, but a LOT of people do. And there's some really smart thinking behind this truck. They're a nice bunch with true intentionshardhat
    • The cut-through as grown on me. Also it would look pretty amazing when mudded / dented up. Those distressingly perfect lines well earn character.garbage
    • Do we still need cars?!grafician
    • Cleaner cars = Faster horsesdeadsperm
