    If you travel off the beaten track in Australia, fuel supplies can be a long way apart and sometimes have zero or very little stock. That's why I put an auxiliary tank in my Mitsubishi 4x4 ute to give up to 1700 km.

      totally agree and the fact that in 10 years time the battery pack will need to be replaced on the EV. Who in their right mind would want to fork out $20k plus to replace that? I'll stick with the oil burner, thanks

    Sam, I am dying to see any electric pick up truck with one caveat. It needs to be the same size as a standard car that can fit in a supermarket parking spot ,so that it can be used for general run around and occasionally going off-road etc on the weekends. Similar to the standard Toyota Hilux twin cab Utility. Big trucks are not practical in Australia

      You can't tow with those as the range goes down to just a quarter.

    I think 500km should be the industry goal. And then sell bigger ranges for an extra for anyone that wants them. More than enough.

    Sam...when I stop to have a p.ss I don't need to refuel the car just me...less than 800kms they won't be value for $...at least they recognise that the Aust market is not a sedan car market so I guess that's something.

    whats to keep the load from going thru that huge back glass everytime you hit the brakes? thats why midgates dont make any sense, if you actually use the tray the midgate has to be able to withstand the weight the truck can haul.

  • @Bonkers1980
    @Bonkers1980 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    600 km is a nice and dandy if used just for transportation. But I do think on pickups that we need those 1000km ones, so that companies that tow trailers will convert to electric.

    If they made a single cab version with a 7 foot tray like my Holden, I'd be very interested. I don't need four seats, but I do need the tray length. Sadly, this section of the EV market seems likely to be as ignored as it is with current petrol versions.

    • @genieb
      @genieb 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      If it is anything like the show model, the back of the cab completely opens up and the rear seats slide out. I'm sure those seats can be removed easily :). Still on fully a 2 seater but close enough ???

      @thelorax9622 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@genieb That may be true, but my point is you shouldn't have to go to that extreme - just make a proper ute and be done with it.

  • @KK-qi6mt

    A mid-gate in this would be ideal and give the option to extend the load bay on the odd occasion that you need it.

    @johnchang3807 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How heavy can the ute springs hold the battery + the load for the ute to be effectively functioning as a work ute ? And surely the range will be reduced dramatically with heavy load. Tough choice for real tradies.

    I think the push towards low cost LFP is a mistake. Contrary to your belief that long range is not required. I think it is very important. My model Y states 440km I’m lucky to get 250km. Then you add a trailer to these utes and you can halve it again. Please reconsider your opinion.

    I'm slowly turning to a pickup as my next vehicle I think for their practicality and adventure factor. I don't like these monsters on the roads though and unfortunately this Maxis has that. I really like the more subtle Radar RD6.

    @drxym 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    LDV and MG might be owned by the same parent company but I don't see much cross over. LDV make decent vans called the Maxus then you have monstrosities like the Mifa which is one of the most grotesque looking things on 4 wheels. There is no shared designed language, or even obvious pars or software. It might make sense for LDV to be the commercial brand and MG the private vehicle brand and start developing a design language but who knows what is going on. Maybe SAIC has bought out different carplants pumping out this stuff and maybe the plants hate each other or something. I doubt there would be much demand for a pickup truck in Europe whether it says LDV or MG on it.

    So do you really think this company will be around in a year or two? Will they be selling these pickups at a loss? Looks like financial suicide.

    I’m sorry but it’s just an impractical oversized, overweight and no doubt expensive waste of space like most current so called utes. Unless it comes in tradie spec and not suburban warrior spec it’s a pointless inefficient vehicle. It needs the options for single dab so you can at least carry 1200 x 2400 sheets of cladding and all your tools.
