A Fastback top with pop-open side windows (hinged in front, tilt out in the rear) would be fantastic. Maybe instead of the pickup bed's partition you could install... a Zipn Box! 😀

In videos they call the two pieces on the back of the pickup cab as the "partition" (lower part) the "back glass" or "halo" (upper part). I just want the lower part -- either the original partition or a replacement partition that installs there if that one can't be kept there when the shell is...

@KevinRS makes a good point. The article's title is misleading. They just charged and discharged batteries in a manner that more realistically represents the way EV batteries are actually charged and discharged. Here are some snippets from the article in Nature Energy that the AutoBlog article...

And the 1.04 figure excludes starter and alternator breakdowns that are ICEV-only moving parts.

The panels will have a "Dual-Layer Fastening System".

What I would prefer is shell-only with a front-of-bed partition. Just the shell. No seats or rollbar. Dogs will ride back there.

@GaRailroader merely quoted one of the three main bullet points from the top of the article. The article says EVs break down and need roadside assistance less than half as frequently (4.2 vs 10.4). That's the main point. My logic is rock-solid. My calculator skills?... not so much. 🙂 If it...

EVs require less maintenance, too.

Ted Nugent's broncos came to mind.

And that percentage is misleading on the low side. Some ICEV moving parts (starter, alternator) are counted in a separate category. Unfortunately they're bundled in with electrical system and lighting. What happens if we include the other category and compare? ICEV breakdowns: 10+23=33 ...

For example, when you buy a wrap they'll make hundreds of dollars just having a supplier drop-ship a wrap.

Another video. He shows the window coming up from all the way down.

That might be what's going to happen: single DIN, not double

To me it looks like a 5x9 with low walls and no ramp or motorcycle chock. Here's why: In U-Haul's Equipment Abbreviations document the 4x8 AO trailer shown has two vertical supports for the top rail, not four. The 5x9 RT has four. The 4x8 AO has no rounded handles at the front of the top...

Well, that's embarrassing. 🤦‍♂️ Somehow bork'd the ICEV calculations. Ran the numbers twice before posting to be sure that wouldn't happen. Ugh. Anyhow, now corrected.

This video is about a sub-1,000-pound camping trailer that's a platform for a rooftop tent. He mentions there are nineteen sub-1,000-pound trailers in this playlist: Lightweight Trailers That Won't Break The Bank

"The EV [powertrain] is the least interesting thing about it" --Chris Barman

And EVs don't have generators or starters, so there's that. Here's the important take-away: The articles say that, for whatever reasons, the ICEVs need roadside breakdown assistance more than twice as frequently as the EVs by about the same proportions in both Germany and Britain. Advantage...

Providing a link doesn't obligate someone to deep-dive into the primary source of the data in an article. Nevertheless, here you go: Main breakdown causes for EVs in Germany in 2024: 12-volt battery: 50% (2.1) Motor, Motor management, high-voltage system: 18% (0.76) Tires: 13% (0.55)...

I couldn't find the source either. Just found a lot of similar articles.
