The Truth About Cars

MARCH 7, 2024

In a California two-fer, electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian rolled out a pair of new EVs today, both of which have deep familial resemblances and a host of appeal to overlanders. Starting with the hotly anticipated R2, of course. Pricing is set to start at $45,000 and go up from there.

Following my blog post in December and Facebook posts I immediately heard from three of my best green friends, Kaaren Lee Brown, Sona Kalapura and Lilly Fabri. But turn around and look the other way and it looks like something out of John Carpenter’s Escape from Los Angeles. . Very good news indeed.

The group plans to rapidly build a small prototype/demonstration fleet of plug-in hybrids using Ford's Escape Hybrid as a platform. Andy Frank and the non-profit California Cars Initiative is starting a project to demonstrate the potential of the Ford Escape Hybrid to operate as a plug-in hybrid.

Conversions are mostly for the Prius, with a few for the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner hybrid SUVs. The easiest conversions are for 2004-2008 Prius (not 2001-2003 Prius) and the Ford Escape/Mercury Mariner Hybrid. Both Toyota and Ford are now producing a few prototype conversions of their own Priuses and Escapes for research purposes.)

We don’t have but a handful of years to step up with a drastic, all out, game-changing World War II like response or you will have doomed your children to a disaster-filled miserable existence from which they will not be able to recover or escape. Is that plain enough? Happy to help. I know because I’m a subscriber.
