Cool.

They need to add tandem pedals so the back seat guy can pedal, too.

I have seen two Rivian pickup trucks and one Lucid Air car so far. What's with the vertical headlights or marker? Caddy started this IIRC and now both Rivian and Lucid is sporting. That alone will stop me from getting one, not that I am in the market.

I don't think the Lucid Air has the elegance of typical upscale German sedans to justify their cost. Tesla Model S was/is quite attractive but their later models look like scaled versions of Honda Insight. But of course, MBZ, BMW and even Honda has crossover models that look like the Model X. So perhaps its consumer driven or drag coefficient driven for empg.

This video is spot on for this topic.

Watch the manner in which Alex Jones completely alters the content during his review of Hoovie's video.

In the latest sign that corporate behemoths are getting behind the shift to electric vehicles, Walmart announced on Thursday that it would install fast-charging stations at thousands of locations around the country. The rollout would quadruple the company’s network of charging stations, currently available at more than 280 Walmart and Sam’s Club stores.

Walmart’s move could help allay a common concern about buying an electric car — range anxiety, the fear of getting stranded with a dead battery and no chargers in sight.

“We’ve got a Walmart store or Sam’s Club within 10 miles of 90 percent of the population in this country,” Vishal Kapadia, the company’s senior vice president of energy transformation, told the Washington Post. “We know we can address range anxiety in a way that no one else can.”

KIA should come up with a low cost EV named Wally and watch the sales soar, especially they throw in the first year of charging at Wally World.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy dead fossil powered vehicles as much as anyone but I think some are approaching EVs all wrong. Instead of making a fuss over how difficult it will be converting to widespread EV use the thinking should be how can we overcome the difficulties. We never could have gotten to the moon thinking how hard it would be instead of "let's make it happen".
