Well I ended up with the thing and just got it home. It’s full of o2 bottles. Apparently it was abandoned and ended up with a tow company. No key, DPF appears to have been stolen but that’s just an excuse to delete and tune it out if it runs. Have to get a key for it. I didn’t notice it was no

I’m surprised the focus on EVs isn’t more on plug in hybrids. A plug in hybrid would offer some short amount of electric power then switch over to hybrid after. For many people using it commute it would use mostly electric, but it offers to convenience of a “regular” car. Donald H. Snook >
