Lordstown Motors has released a video of a working prototype of its electric van marketed as a “working man” vehicle.
The startup has become part of Workhorse, which has been working on its own plug-in hybrid truck. The former plans to use EV technologies from the latter to build its own all-electric truck at the Lordstown factory, which they bought from GM last year.
Lordstown Motors has been pushing aggressively to deliver its first vehicles by the end of the year and then has delayed the timeline until the summer of 2021.
We have been skeptical that Lordstown sticks to the timeline since it did not have a working prototype at the time.
Last month, the company held a presentation event at its factory and drove a prototype of the truck on stage, showing a vehicle in operation for the first time.
Now, Lordstown Motors released a new video of the truck with a working prototype of the electric truck at work:
The new teaser clearly markets the truck as a “worker” vehicle.
It shows some of the most interesting features, like the bedside power outlet to power some power tools with the powertrain battery:
