I've seen these sort of utility pickups (usually Ford Ranger) being used by county councils or parks departments. Basic spec is probably a benefit in that setting. Not sure how well the RWD would go down though. The Ranger is at least part time AWD. I hate to go there with the frunk comment but this is one vehicle that needs one, for the charging cables. 😬
I've mostly seen Rangers driven by the type of managerial sort. A "big boy toy" that never seees a dirt path and fitted with ridiculous rims. They're all tax exempt as commercial vehicles arent they?
Spend sometime looking at it in more detail, particularly underneath and the rear axle and then see how happy you are to hand over the ridiculous amount of cash they want! I suppose one thing will be good with it in Ireland…it’s leats lovely and warm so the range will be great!! Lol 🤡🤡🤡
Great video as always. Seen the car in Trondheim/Norway. Plenty of space and big enough. Normally people who gets this type of car wants awd so I'm not sure what to think about it 🤔
Great video. Would be of great benefit to include the type of sound system in the vehicles and connectivity for external music players. And a mention maybe of how the system sounds. 👍
What sort of price will it be? Has it a price on the UK market yet? Then we might have some idea what it will be here in Ireland. That will tell you if it will be successfully or not.
It seems like a lazy conversion to electric. The DC charge rate is poor and the charge port position makes it almost unusable for DC charging. There's no DC chargers with cables long enough to reach the port so you'll have to pull across two spaces. The lack of a frunk on an electric pick up is a missed opportunity as well. I'm disappointed with it.
It works rather well really, either front parked or rear we found no problem charging one, it also makes sense converting an existing diesel, that way the can gauge interest similar MG ZS EV. Frunk would have been a nice thing to see.
Thanks for the comment Frojoe and you are correct, I should have tested DC charging port location. I was able to ac charge all week thankfully. I will get it again shortly and test out your question.
@@1frojoe we’ve video evidence at numerous chargers in Morecambe bay, courtesy of the type 2 chargers not working, hence needing CCS inc eb, Instavolt which reached perfectly fine and worked seamlessly.
I think you failed to mention that this pile of crap can’t tow the poxy 1500kgs whilst also having 1000kgs as payload! It’s either payload or tow apparently! I’ve had a good look over these on a port in the UK and if you look underneath the build quality is shocking! They’ve taken the live beam axle and spun it 180 so the electric motor is bolted into where the diff would be, this hangs down very low and is going to get smashed on anything more than a flat farm track! The battery tray is around 6inches from ground so I would think a Ford focus would have a better ramp break over angle than this and the range is shocking from other videos I’ve watched… and all for a mere 50k. This is the definition of clown world!!!
Hmm, this is a diesel/petrol car they just threw in the first and best battery/engine combo they could get a hold on and "tadaa" "all electric pickup" This is a kinda shit, as a pickup. Only rear wheel, no support for extra load etc. It is like buying a WV beetle, when you really need a full size coupe for your family. But I guess it was just that important to be the "first" out to try sell it. To quote a gem of a actress: I think I can smell shite, Yes I can definitely smell shite!
If this was available in South Africa, they would sell them as fast as they could bring them in.
The perfect country for it!

Thanks Brian. AWD would be nice but with the efficiency the way it is, another motor wouldn't help 🤣
The frunk is definitely needed.
Agree with your comment about boys toys 😉🤣
This eV will be a great addition to the Irish Market and hopefully get more people into ev's of all sorts.
The variety of EVs coming out is crazy

I hope not! Sorry to say but as an Automotive Technician, EV's are not the Future, end of.
Great video as always.

Very true!
great videos as always, need a 5 seater commercial, undecided between this and a crewcab van.
Van would probably have more security
It’s an impressive truck with a decent range that seems to lug about weight without much impact on range and is pretty good off-road, thank you
Thanks for the comment and I'm loving your review. Much more rugged terrain!
@@NevoEVReviewIreland you’re very welcome, thank you for watching - looking forward to grabbing a cup of tea with you one day.

Noted Pat. Apologies I never cover the audio apologies. This offering was pretty basic with no brand name
I'm surprised how this managed to get into Ireland
No market for it or just surprised in general?
@@NevoEVReviewIreland pretty much yeah
@@toyotaprius79 right with you there buddy very unusual 🤔
This pick up has huge electric motor attached directly to rear axle, will be always shaking like that loaded or not.
I really wished I loaded it up
What sort of price will it be? Has it a price on the UK market yet? Then we might have some idea what it will be here in Ireland. That will tell you if it will be successfully or not.
Thanks for the question SharonEC. Price in Ireland of around €60k ex VAT as mainly commercial buyers. Available now in both Ireland and the UK.
what is the price
For 60k I would need a bit more towing capacity, trailer alone is just under 1tonne.
I'd have to agree

That may be true, others disagree - yet it's the first of its kind (and not a 3 tonne Rivian or F150)

@@PlanetautoUK id4s and etrons struggle to connect to most DC chargers I find it hard to believe that you found no problem with this.

Looks good
It does!

Thanks for the comment Pill. I didn't know it was either and not both! The ground clearance I should have checked.
how this & dual motor cybertruck consumption are the same? my god... you can see what tesla achieved in 14 years of their existence.
En PERU esta CAMIONETA PICKUP HA LLEGADO RECIEN HACE 1 MES Y EL PRECIO ES BIEN ELEVADO MEJOR ME COMPRO UNA HILUX DIESEL TURBO MOTOR 2.8 ALTA GAMA .
Thanks for the comment all the way from Peru! Good to hear it's available and it won't suit everyone yet at this price

Definitely a 1st attempt but I'm hearing about the 2nd generation will have all wheel drive and be a ground up EV
Compared to their diesel T90 the interior is very cheap looking.
I'm already looking forward to the next version
No one needs this oversized car. Buy a van.
Apples and oranges, but pretty much any vehicle now is oversized. At least this one can literally be loaded with manure in the bed
