Does it pass all the DOT safety requlirements?

5-mph bumper, crash test survival, etc.

Might double the weight . . .

The plug in hybrids have a much smaller battery than full EVs. They have the gas motor up front just like an F150 and I’m pretty sure the battery is under the bed.

The battery range is small, like 30 miles. But that’s perfect for a lot of milk runs, even out in the boonies where we live.

Be good to see the crash data, but it’s kinda moot since Ford discontinued it.
