It may not be a production vehicle but it show what can be done.

Great to see students involved in projects such as this.

Perhaps using an existing vehicle platform like a VW multivan may have made the project more relatable to people, but thats just my thoughts.

The EV market is on an unstoppable climb now. Rivian, Ford F-150, GMC and others going electric as many more hybrids. Will be interesting future.

Well as a concept it looks very smart but in reality it has to be crash tested & that's where it would fail, so then they have to make it strong enough to protect the occupants, not forgetting the added weight of mandatory ABS, airbags etc etc & that would double its weight & half its endurance, or more.

Hydrogen powered engines are the future, not EV`s.

Hydrogen has been spoken of as the fuel of the future for over 30yrs.

It never seems to get there.

EV’s are here, now.

Either is fine IMO :)
