| I did the math once how much range you'd get with a converted EV Land Cruiser 80. [0] In my calculation it was around 100 miles range tops due to battery weight, aerodynamics, unoptimized drivetrain, etc. [0] https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS7clbT... |

| You may have done a calculation, but these guys have done the real thing: https://www.jauntmotors.com/series

Maybe without the powertrain that Land Rover might be halfway reliable, finally (hehe) [0] I was looking more into something like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YX1YOvRpjo (some really nice solutions shown) [0] https://www.lrukforums.com/media/land-rovers-turning-owners-... | | |

No crazy Chinese firmware, no bonkers Musk autonomy, charge them from the solar on your roof, enough torque to pull a semi trailer out of a ditch. | | |

| ▲ | angry_octet 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | It's precisely because these EVs don't repackage android or attempt to remain internet connected that will allow them to keep working on the software side. Embedded firmware (for ISO/IEC 15118 comms with the CCS2 port) for charge controllers is about as sophisticated as it gets. |
