Keep Your Rivian, We’ll Have This Safari-Inspired Alpha Jax EV

Alpha is a new-ish ev company based in Southern California. They haven’t produced a car you can buy yet, but they do have a few concepts that look pretty sweet.
We’re particularly stoked on the new one, the Jax. Looks a little like a Porsche 911/Alpha Romeo mashup, lifted, with big ATs, beefy suspension, and buckets of style.
Look at this:

It’s 4WD, and Alpha is hoping to squeeze 250 miles per charge out of it, with the ability to tow 1,850 pounds. Like seemingly every other interesting EV out there, it’s just a concept at this point, with Alpha taking reservations to gauge interest. If it hits digital showrooms, it’s expected to start at about $39k, and they’re hoping to deliver units in 2023.
Vaporware? Yeah, maybe. But jeez, it looks cool.

With that short wheel base, it probably does off road better than CT. But once you fall in love with manly (I just realized what it sounded like), it is hard to go back to cute. I won't cheat on CT.

The back door looks very narrow... but I guess it suicide

It's cute, but its range is going to suck ^-^

(Assuming it ever leaves the vaporware stage. I wish it the best of luck)
