I like it, and I would love to go full electric, but I'm waiting for an EV (any EV, but I would prefer a 4WD design like the Bollinger) that can go 300 miles on a charge and recharge fully in 20 minutes - in other words, a cross-country, long road trip-capable EV. I want something that I can use to visit family in Ohio without taking a week and a half to get there. I think that the range issue is within reach, but the fast charge capability combined with long range appears to be a problem that will take a long time to solve. We're just not there yet with battery technology, not to mention the need to have charging stations co-existent with gas stations (or some system with similar accessibility). Here's hoping...
(gag) Looks like someone took an old Powell Sport Wagon (also came in a pick-up version) and made it electric. The styling matches the crate the parts were shipped in. Ugh!
Two 1956 Powells. Built using the 1940/41 Plymouth chassis and drivetrain. Love the tool tray!

I have never even heard of a Powell before seeing your photos. Looks pretty cool actually.
Most have never heard of them. Once in a blue moon, one will show up for sale. Look up their history. Weird. Originally had oak bumpers! LOL I've always liked 'em...
It does look like an old bronco! It would be nice with an old Bronco two tone paint job!
Kinda cool in a Land Rover way... Wonder what it weighs?
Reading the spec, 10K GVW, 6K Payload, so 4K .... that pretty light if its right.
