But in other news, a new playah has joined in the EV truck game and has some really hot teasers of what’s to come.

Introducing the Atlis XT EV, born from a new company that has started out first by contracting with the US gov to develop EV versions of military vehicles:

XT PICKUP TRUCK
The XT Pickup is everything you expect in a truck: it’s rugged, durable, and can perform in the most extreme conditions. Designed to maximize usability, storage and passenger comfort, we want to build a truck with unprecedented capabilities at a reasonable price.

Sounds almost too good to be true!
But read on…

And perhaps the most wild thing is, forget kickstarter, you can directly invest in this company today.

If you want to read more about the military contract issue:


MESA, Ariz. – Atlis Motor Vehicles (ATLIS), a start-up mobility technology company, announced today the signing of a collaborative agreement with a U.S. Military supplier to jointly design and produce new technology to convert military vehicles such as gasoline or diesel-powered High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles (HMMWVs) into electric vehicles. Under the agreement, the technology can be sold to third-party customers, including the United States and international allies.”

Just imagine, in a few (?) years, you might be able to buy a milsurp EV Hummer!!! Yowza!???

These specs are the result of bigness... more metal and batteries. If you want a big, expensive, and really heavy electric truck, then this is it. 15 minute charge isn't new, but no one is getting 100% charge that quick even with fancy chargers.

Something this size would have a viable market for sure, but I hate the way the EV industry is going. The forte of EVs is tiny, shorter range, urban commuting. I'd love to see the US create a light vehicle spec like the EU's "quadcycle".

Only read the first post and had something to say.......conversions to electric are going to take off. Take your existing old Genny and electrify it, you don't need to buy a new one, just convert it!
