Electric drivetrains enjoy many benefits. They are substantially more efficient and reliable thanks to their simpler and more compact design. They do feature more advanced components made from high-cost materials, which contributes to their already high pricing strategy.

Unfortunately, the weight of an average lithium-ion battery pack results in EVs weighing substantially more than your average ICE sedan.

An emerging segment of EVs known as extended-range electric vehicles could address range anxiety and the spotty charging network in the US.

Since the widespread adoption of automatic transmissions, manuals have mostly been associated with performance cars. Slapping through the gears while winding out the engine is a thrilling experience, and nothing launches a 426 Street Hemi off the line like a four-speed. Now that trucks have become daily drivers and even luxury vehicles, they mostly have automatics, but manual transmissions used to be the standard in pickups.

The Only American-Built Pickup Truck With A Manual Transmission

One of the main sticking points to the wider adoption of electric vehicles in the United States and beyond is the high cost of a new EV. According to Kelley Blue Book, the average transaction price of a new combustion car in the U.S. in June was $48,644, while new EVs had an average MSRP of $56,371.

Despite a parade of electric vehicles that can travel more than 300 miles on a charge, range anxiety remains a major hurdle to widespread adoption particularly in the US. There is, however, a “no-duh” antidote to allay fears of being stranded mid-trip: put a charger on the car. While traditional hybrid vehicles use gas to turn the wheels, a new crop of cars are burning it exclusively to charge a large onboard battery. It’s a strategy one might expect from an 8-year-old’s brainstorm, and it’s not a particularly efficient solution or a cheap one. But in an age of janky charging infrastructure and fraught, polarizing politics, electric motors juiced by an onboard, gas-sipping generator could be a killer EV app.
