    I have one of those 2 seater pickups from 2010. Best vehicle ever, 7-8L/100km and the same size box as the whale behind it.

      There’s no way you can get 7-8L/100Km on a pickup in the city. Are you living in the countryside so there’s no traffic?

        A Piaggio Ape with a 50cc engine and two seats manages 3-4L/100Km (>70mpg) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          I would love to have an EV but there’s 0 charging station in a 15Km radius from my house, and way too much gas station. FML.

          Home charging is not an option.

            I am curious if you are rural enough to be that far from any EV charging station, why wouldn’t home charging be an option? Every rural person I know can do whatever the hell they want, and slapping a 60A circuit into their primary breaker box and running one meter of cable to an EVSE is easier for them than most city dwellers, that have parking restrictions or rental restrictions or HOA restrictions that drive them to either be unable or for it to require a much longer run.

              Yes I am in the rural area and not in USA. My English is not good enough to explain in detail but I’ll try.

              My house’s electrical system is almost 50 years old. About 10 year ago, I have to “upgrade” the fuse box just so it can handle one single induction stove of 2500W (the fuse would blown immediately when it’s turned on).

              Even a home charging kit of 7,5KWh is out of the question, let alone the more common one of 11KWh (in my country).

              A 3KWh AC charger is theoretically possible, however it would take >20 hours to charge a typical 50KWh EV.

                I charge my ev on 240V 15A, so 3600W. It easily charges to 80% overnight

                  I don’t know how electrical grid work here, but I assume I can’t use more than 3300W at any given time (we use 220V and the fuse box said 15A, or is it 20A? I’ll have to double check). So if I were to charge an EV, I have to turn off everything else in the house? I can’t live without the Air conditioner. It’s a 800W unit that can do both cooling and heating.

          You have a fairly large engine then right? A VW Polo V with 75hp does 5.5l/100km mixed
