EV discussion - hate or love?

Here it is. 87mi of range in a PHEV pickup. Shame it'll never make it to the US.


To be fair, it's a Chinese truck and Chinese manufacturers like to play very fast and loose with specs. Ever bought a 10k lumens light on Amazon from one of them? Lol. They sell 50,000 lumen LED headlight bulbs too, which are likely more like 2500 lumens in the real world after their turn on spike.
 
150 miles of range, no power windows, just a cheap truck from a nobody?

Nice thought in principle, but I don't see the point vs spending $20k on a used Tacoma.
