Upcoming Extended Range Electric Vehicle (EREV) pickups from Scout and Ram will combine the performance of electric power with the range of internal combustion. And while their headline capability will open up travel through remote areas and daily use in austere environments to EVs for the first time, I’m mostly excited about another possibility: off-grid power.

Believe it or not, but I’m also overwhelmed and depressed by the torrent of bad news about public lands, national parks, and the environment. So I figured I’d put down work on upcoming articles about the Forest Service and National Environmental Policy Act, and instead write about something fun today. Stay tuned though, I’m hearing that an executive order around reducing national monument protections, and opening up BLM land to sell offs could come any day now.
