Even though it's electric, I find the simplicity in styling to be compelling.

You know its funny i just seen that a bit ago and thought "theres an EV i might actually, almost, be interested in"....

Then i opened the door and let out the exhaust from my quad.

All kidding aside though....it is a pretty cool looking concept. If only it had atleast a gas V6 and a manual.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
Make it a hybrid.

EVs are dying. They're not selling. Other technologies need to be pushed. I'm seeing the signs at work, finally. The new battery plant we're building is not supposed to be called a battery plant any more. But you didn't hear that from me.

Thats the first ev that has actually peaked my interest by looking cool. I say that because I've seen tesla 0-60 times and thought, "wow, that's stupid fast, That could be cool to experience". I hope that makes sense.

The Jax and Rex are probably the best looking in my opinion. The Jax might be a good rally car. The Rex looks like an off-brand G-Wagon

My plans for one involved shoehorning in a VR6 and 4motion. But further investigation showed too much rust.
Honestly the entry price that wasn't a rust bomb was the hurdle I couldn't clear.
