My dad had a service station for nearly 50 years, in a state that it’s still illegal to pump gas. He was full service the entire time. Even when I was just helping out I would get scolded for not washing windows or checking oil. This is such a great idea and so well executed. My pop will get a...

Huh, there are 4wd Spinter vans been around a while.

These guys are way ahead in van conversion segment. Will be interesting to see what they do with the Amazon van. I should say adventure van conversion. https://www.outsidevan.com/

Meh, I’m with skyote on this. Let the consumer set the market. Too much government as it is. Consumers and manufacturers progress just fine without government intervention.

Although the longevity of braking components on EV’s make sense do they require they require maintenance due to the reduced usage or is this accounted for by not engaging regen until the brakes are engaged for a few cycles to keep pads and rotors clean?

Well if you plan accordingly you will have power available to run a vacuum when your done.

Hopefully if they have them they will be optional. This is not something I would want on truck being built as an adventure vehicle. Nor would I want the added heating and A/C drain in extreme temps. Also, wouldn’t want the weight penalty and potential reduced rigidity. Now a solar roof and bed...
