EV ute overload: The electric pickups coming soon

EV Central

litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine with two electric motors, providing about 100km of EV range as well as the ability to travel further on petrol. Theoretically, it should be easier to engineer a right-hand drive model from the factory, although clearly the numbers have to add up for someone to push the button.
