Love that built in power supply on that truck. It will make power outages a lot less of a
crisis.
Thanks for posting.
We added a 100% electric vehicle to our household as well. Definitely the most cost effective vehicle we have ever had. Our particular EV is not as advanced in technology as the latest EVs out there and does have its short commings such as cold weather range/charging capacity, and no quick charge feature...but with said, it is our 100 mile round trip daily commuter. The savings of no gas, no expensive maintance (no oil/filter changes, fuel filters, transmission flushes, no timing belts, no egr or o2 sensors,exhaust, cat converter concerns, etc. Etc.) This alone helps put diesel fuel in our truck. 🙂 LOL 1 year 24k miles. Only maint so far has been rotating tires, inspect brakes (virtually no brake wear due to re-generator braking) and windshield wiper fluid.
Think the batteries are getting better and are getting less expensive every year. Will have to see how the VIA vehicles make out in few years.

40-45 miles??? I'm assuming that is an empty truck as well. Seems counter productive .Correct if I am wrong but I don't think that battery technology is good enough yet to electrify a truck.

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.

Interesting. When I first saw the picture and the VIA emblem, I thought it was a Chinese knock-off of a Chevy Silverado. 🙂
