FWIW, our last six (!) car purchases have been direct to consumer (Tesla & RIvian). We are so glad to be out of the stealership model and would never go back. The financing and trade-ins have been super-easy. Trade-ins all done via app like carmax and while we do not do financing, it has been...

The engine can deliver 60 kwh per hour. If you got the same efficiency as in the video you posted, 0.72 miles per kwh, the engine cannot keep up. Put a different way, a 60 kw engine can handle a towing load that drops the average efficiency down to 1 mile per kwh and not lower. The tow rating...

Here is a summary from CGPT that is helpful. TLDR version - Its the EA211 1.6 MPI which is 60-62 kw engine operating in generator mode with potential for a short peak at 80 kw. Long version: 1. What’s actually confirmed publicly From VW/Scout statements and mainstream coverage, we can say with...

It is the only one that fits the description. Naturally aspirated 4c built in Mexico. The de-turbo’d 2.0 EA888 is possible but would be lower power.

Tow rating in the harvester is going to be engine limited, no? The VW EA211 1.6L MPI engine produces 81 kw peak and 60 kw operating in generator mode (~75%). At that speed, you are re-charging at 1 kwh / minute (no losses). If you drop below that for any extended time, you are going into...

Under 250 miles. lol

FWIW emissions testing is normally for CO, Hydrocarbons, and NOx plus sometimes particulates (diesel). Afaik no state uses CO2 as a pass fail since it is merely a function of fuel mileage. The focus is on smog-causing chemicals.

Reasonable compromise since it is just an hour from the plant. Columbia SC would have been closer but Charlotte has better transportation and workforce for the HQ.

I definitely prefer the full ev (currently one of each designated). If Keough pushes BEV production back a year, I may grab the Harvester in any case. (It depends if they actually deliver 150 miles of AER and LFP batteries! The lifespan of NMC batteries in PHEVs with short range AER is not...
