I quite like the look of the x-bus.

electricbrands.de/en/myxbus/


If they were real, not imaginary, I would be temped to cash in my £28,500 Gen4 and pick up an off-road bus, they are 1 foot longer and 2" wider than the jimny, can carry 1000kg and pull a trailer- how heavy has to be measured when they actually make one to test :)

I like the stupendous range figures, (on an imaginary vehicle), it supposedly has 3kw of solar panels, so it would self charge 8-10KWH a day in the summer.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

How about the ATAE Munro?

www.munro-ev.com/

[To be] made in Scotland, expected to be about £50k?

Then the new Defender is a hybrid..., might be too big

The Ineos Grenadier might go hydrogen fuel cell... might also be too big.

Suzuki were rumoured to be looking at an electric version of the Jimny, possible for India, but apparently they shelved the idea as it was considered too niche.

Then there is this speculation that a hybrid might come out.

If the option ends up being a retro electro rod as it were then Temeraire will be the primary candidate not a gen4.

Is it me or do almost all the current electric car designs look terrible? Why do they think we all want to drive something from the set of Logan's Run?
The only company i have seen with good looking designs are Alpha Cars and as yet they haven't built anything.

That is what has always put me off, the styling of them.

It's not hard is it? There are decades worth of cracking looking cars to take inspiration from.
