SPI Energy is a Chinese company founded in 2016 and its main field of activity is renewable energy. At the beginning of the year, it announced its intention to produce an electric pickup truck, and now we know what it will look like.
It is the EdisonFuture EF1-T model, which is a pickup version of the new vehicle, while the EF1-V is a type of van.
The pickup has a passenger cab configuration, four doors and an open cargo area, while the EF1-V model has that area under cover.
The standard version with a single engine in the EF1-T has 470 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, the Premium has two engines and accelerates to "hundreds" in 4.5 seconds, while the Super version is powered by three electric motors with 816 horsepower. This version from 0 to 100 km/h reaches in 3,9 seconds. The electric EF1-V will be sold with one and two engines of 400 and 690 horsepower.
Both models will have a solar charging system, and according to the company, there will be a uniquely designed solar mosaic technology that will offer a great visual signature and collect solar energy to charge the batteries. The vehicle will be able to be continuously charged while outdoors.
Details on batteries and range are not yet available, but they are expected in mid-November during the Los Angeles Auto Show, where the EF1-T prototype model will debut. /Telegraph/
