Default FINALLY - A Good looking EV truck. Meet - The Alpha Wolf




WOLF — Alpha Motor Corporation (alphamotorinc.com)( cool gif on this one).


Could the Alpha Wolf Bring Small Electric Trucks Back to the Future? (msn.com)
No matter what it resembles, it is distinctly Wolf and wholly unique. After all, it has a frunk—we like saying frunk. Adjacent to the frunk is the charge port on the driver side front fender, receiving juice for the four-wheel-drive or front-wheel-drive system. We don't know much about the propulsion system, but Alpha intends to stuff in a 75 to 85 kWh lithium-ion battery that gives the Wolf a range of 250-275 miles and a decent 0-60 time of 6.2 seconds. Towing is expected to be in the 3,000 pound range.

Size-wise, the Alpha Wolf is akin to the once-upon-a-time Chevrolet S-10, a legit mini truck. At 188 inches long, it's about two inches shorter than a single cab short bed S-10 but about 8 inches wider and 2.5 inches taller. Whereas the S-10 touts 15-inch wheels, the Wolf sports rollers up to 18 inches, which are massive for its petite stature.

The Alpha Wolf starts at $36,000 to $46,000, which doesn't include any federal EV tax credits.

That coupe is kinda cool tho!

mini trucks are great, if you don't need a truck for anything bigger than hauling a mini fridge. Least the range is decent on this one!

Not everyone needs sheetrock every day.

My only problem with it is, FWD?? Then with no engine (weight) in the front...

Yeah, all the designs look 50 years old, but when you compare to what else has been coming out (and even in general), is that really, that bad??

I think the real question is: So after you get your EV plate, Which one do you want to swap an LS into?

The coupe, for sure. I actually dig that coupe. I hope if they come to production that they keep the look the best they can. Its got a total "retro-mod" 510 look to it and Im about it

the pickup reminds me of a chevy luv, but lame. I actually kind of dig the silver car.

if range per charge is a major drawback of an EV, why would the engineers put a brick front end on them?
