I just want an electric version of a Honda fit...
-
Give me an updated Subaru Baja. Or a other brands that make Utes I see in Australia. Or a Kei truck with actual usable space and a bed that can fit a piece of plywood.
Fuck the automakers that ruined this country.
-
Seriously, it's such a good car it just needs an electric version
-
So like a Chevy bolt or kona ev? Or do you mean specifically honda?
-
Not an SUV or a crossover. I want a compact car like a Civic or a Corolla. Like a VW e-Golf, or the Ford Focus EV, but that's as affordable as a standard compact car with a good range.
Hydrogen fuel cells would be a great alternative to electric batteries, and you can refuel in minutes. Or if you're worried about the hydrogen, how about solid state batteries that allow fast charging to 80% in minutes and are much safer? What's the hold up? Are they just trying to get rid of their existing battery stock?
-
I'm in this boat and got a bolt, though I wish it were lower. And that they kept making it.

Fuck that, how about $150k city buses? Or $30k delivery vans? Or $20,000 hatchbacks? Half the pickups on the roads seem to be for feels not work.
-
-
Ha ha, F150 lightning announced at 40k, cheapest model is actually 50k.
-
Everyday I get sad at the fact the Toyota IMV 0 is not allowed to be sold in the US.
-
I’d totally rather a company with the supply chain and mature market for parts. Slate truck is hoping to fill the low cost, no frills, extra customizable electric truck segment.
-
Man, I hope Slate trucks sell like fucking hotcakes. The lack of creepy spyware makes that the only new vehicle I'm considering.
-
The Bezos truck? No thanks
-
I'm not normally a truck guy but I really want one of these. I just hope the battery upgrade and individual accessories/customizations don't bump the cost too high. I love how small the truck is
-
I’ve been looking forward to the Slate truck too, really hoping it’s successful. It would be a perfect upgrade from my 07 Ranger.
-
… what? You just said Toyota doesn’t have a proper supply chain or market for parts? You do realize Toyota is literally one of the biggest and most mature car manufacturers and has been for years right?
-
-
This pisses me off too. The its exactly what I want and cant get.
-
-
Fuck that, we want good public transport! No oversized cars that are a danger to children and adults alike!
-
Sure, but I still need a vehicle to get to the closest stop and ride. It would be nice to have a truck for my weekend projects when I’m not commuting.
-
If you need a vehicle to get to public transit, that's terrible public transit.
-
That's what public transit is for. Stops every 500 m is possible.
Plus, how often do you even transport heavy things with your truck? Most I know only need it once a year -- way cheaper and less antisocial to have a smaller car and to use a trailer for those days.

If it has a 65"+ bed, I'm gonna feel stupid having a Lightning. But if it's another crew cab and it has the footprint of a Maverick, it probably won't.

Why can't you make a cheap EV for people who want to be able to throw a couple sheets of plywood in the back? These tiny beds are borderline useless.
Because performative pickups are lifestyle items in North America.
The people buying these aren’t really using them as a truck. They use them to go get groceries and pick up a coffee. Idiots.
well i like to get a coffee too. after i pick up a few 8x4 sheets of whatever i’m working with this week.
Because it’s not a real truck, it’s unibody construction.
Im uninformed about this. Why cant a truck with a unibody have a bigger bed
I whole heartedly agree. Maybe it’s like women’s clothes and getting dresses with pockets, so they can sell you the accessories? bed extender
preach. id have been electric years ago if they made a full bed.
Yeah but how do other people know that you are a real man if you don't drive a iseless car?
