Fascinating. I hope someone makes a similar EV vehicle without all the bells and whistles.

- itsyaboi 4y agoBollinger Motors had a utilitarian EV offering for a while, but kept bumping up the price for whatever reason. Looks like they've pivoted into electric semis now? https://bollingermotors.com/b1-b2/ https://bollingermotors.com/b1-b2/
- gregoriol 4y agoEVs require quite a lot of electronics just to function, are hard to fix, and also finding extra electricity in places where those kind of vehicles are used wouldn't be as easy a getting a jerrycan.
- dragonsky67 4y agoI've got to ask the stupid question... Why do EV's need lots of electronics? the only required controls I can think of are: - Charge control, - Power control - accelerator and regen breaking - Whatever driver assist is legally required You don't need phone home telemetry, glass dashboard controls, dodgy auto pilot or many other luxury "needs" I would think that an EV could be even simpler than a ICE vehicle as there is no need for all the complex engine management required to keep fuel consumption down.
