Seems to be doing all the things people do or wish for here:
Serial Plug-In Hybrid with direct to ICE top gear.
12 volt battery is lithium.
auto grill shutter.
etc
ICE is 46.6% efficient too.
They probably don't sell any of them in the USA due to import duties and the love of humongous vehicles with 45 liter engines, but worth a look none the less. |
I never said driving a good manual can't be done in traffic. I've done plenty.
My point is that a low speed ev is just simpler and wayyyyyyy more efficient.
