Could VIA Motors be the next generation of tow vehicles?

There are several videos on this company's youtube channel. Just thinking... Charge up at the campsite and or run your rv from its on board power souce option.
100mpge (gas equivelent?) 400 miles to the tank (unloaded I think). Have not found any of the crucial specs yet.

  • Chevy/GM connection I would think Don Lutz former ceo GM..advocate of the Chevy Volt..now head of VIA motors.

    Yeah, I wondered about the Chevy truck and van stuff, too.

    I'm wondering is there a GM connection with Via. I only watched bits and pieces of the video, so maybe they explained.

    I dunno....
  • Might qualify for green EZpass 10% savings on Turnpike and bridge Tolls during off peak times.
    Web site Q&As state it qualifies for federal tax credit up to $7500 like the EV zero emission vehicles. Possibly qualifies other state incentives. (Currently in NJ, there is no sales tax on EV vehicles leased or purchased.
    Probably massive maintance savings as well. Curious of the payload and towing specs.
  • Their target is $70K per vehicle. Not bad considering fuel savings.

    I see the comments were disabled. too much negativity? they can't make a decent electric vehicle under $100,000 and that won't tow a RV?
