“The Quiet Revolution"
To be honest, the "vehicle" posts aren't my favourite, but I know my husband loves them and I want to appeal to everyone. Plus, I support the idea of electric vehicles and I love off-roading/overlanding to amazing untouched places. However, this one seems a bit too good to be true. A fully electric Hummer that has a 402 km (350 miles) range and full off-road capabilities (crab walk? for real?) with a removal top like our Jeep... okay, I'm impressed, but I noticed that they never mentioned the price... Read 6 - min and then watch the scenery (and the crab walk!) in the promo video Watch - 5 min.
