EV Channels Review
The Lordstown Endurance electric pickup truck was officially unveiled, but the presentation was widely criticized as more of a political campaign stop than a product reveal. Despite the bizarre event, the Endurance features innovative in-wheel hub motors, promising a simple drivetrain with only four moving parts and potential for excellent torque vectoring. However, the company faces significant challenges, including a small workforce and ambitious production targets. With only 14,000 non-binding pre-orders compared to the Rivian's 650,000, and a planned January 2021 delivery, Lordstown appears to be at a disadvantage. The truck's conventional design and modest specifications (200-250 miles of range, 0-60 in 5.5 seconds) were noted, contrasting sharply with the more exciting and well-marketed Rivian, which showcased impressive off-road capabilities. The Endurance is primarily targeted at commercial use, unlike the adventure-focused Rivian.
