You'll never really run it on EV only mode. As I discussed earlier when comparing to the Chinese utes that use electric motors instead of drive by ICE, the Ranger will have only 75kw available to drive the car which will be painfully slow. Maybe when it's cruising but off the line, it would just be awful

That 45 kms is just marketing spin.
