TIL this exists, looks to be based on a f-150. Additionally they’re going to make an affordable drone like helicopter for commuting in the reasonably near future

Dreadful to look at, but interesting no matter.

HQ is in SW Ohio. They also have a large order for an electric delivery van for one of the currier companies.

Looks more GM to me.

Ferds have that drop in the front window

Definitely based on a Silverado. Why they feel the need to make electric vehicles look different than standard vehicles though is beyond me, just make it look like a Silverado (or just enough difference to avoid potential lawsuits), instead they make it super polarizing, and add tons of unnecessary cost.

I think these are Silverado based, Workhorse also does electric conversions of Chevy Express vans.

fair enough, this is where I saw the “f150" side

Agree though, no idea why they have to do that 

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > TysMagic 10/24/2018 at 16:25

the kink in the window line had me confused but i think they modified it.

its missing the Ford’s rectangle door handles,and the mirror is defiantly Chevy

there is a small chance that front end is more aerodynamic

It’s a double cab, the kink on the back window is much more pronounced on the shorter cabs.

Yeah, that taillight is very F-150esque, the cab is most definitely GM  though.

Interior is very Ford circa 2014 with those circle vents too

My exact feelings when I was reading about it.

I think the reasoning is that p eople who buy electrics and hybrids want everyone else to know they’re driving something different.

I can't wait to park one of these right next to my Elio!

It’s a double cab, not the crew cab.
