Lordstown Motors, the embattled electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, faces another setback as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the range of its first EV, the Endurance pickup, at just 174 miles. This falls significantly short of Lordstown’s original claim that the truck would achieve an EPA-rated range of 250 miles. The underwhelming range further adds to the company’s existing challenges, including production issues, the departure of its major investor General Motors (GM), and a potential withdrawal of its manufacturing partner Foxconn.
