Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

I ended up going with a plug-in hybrid due to range anxiety, but after driving it for 4 years I now realize I could probably do 99% of my driving in a leaf, and only need a gas car for visiting family in other cities like twice a year.
I have a leaf and a pick-up. Pick up gets me any where I need to go and lets me move furniture/ buy soil/ compost etc. It leaves the driveway maybe ever 3 weeks.
I want a Canoo for my next EV.
I swear, if ford would just make a phev version of the maverick, I'd buy one day one. As things are now I'm just dreaming of finding a cheap S10 or VW rabbit I could convert to electric. The canoos look nice but too big for my needs I think
Something to bear in mind, Chevy S10's don't crash the best.
That's good to know! Looks like it's at least a little better than the kei trucks I was also considering. I just want a small truck that's electric, and even the maverick I'd bigger than I'd prefer.
Now I'm wondering if replacing the engine with a smaller electric motor might turn the engine bay into a larger crumple zone.
