Depending on your needs and budget, Edison Motors just announced preorders for diesel/ev hybrid pickup conversion kits. I’m definitely interested in converting my 80’s square body to being a plugin hybrid with no spyware.

Honestly, I kinda hate it. Want a car that works like a car, not a gaming rig.

I don’t even care about that. I want a car I can afford and fit my family including luggage in. Give me two hours of battery life with one hour of charging and I’m sold.

Perhaps consider an used car instead of a brand new one? New electric vehicle is worse for the environment than one that already exists even if it runs on petrol/diesel

I already got a stinker that does all that. Of course I’d also take a used electric, but they haven’t been on the market long enough. I’ve never bought a new car in my life. Don’t see the point when they cost only half as much as new when they’re only a year or two old.
