Correct. 25-30 miles rated highway is about 3 miles on the trail. It's a mild hybrid. The 400 mile rated Rivian during
Death Valley testing had the AC turned off and tires aired up and still required a semi-truck generator support to charge it every night. They could barely get 100 miles in off-road range in those miserable conditions, and that's not even low-speed trail climbing like the TFL guys were doing.
EVs are just flat out not ready for off-road (unless you are considering small day trips close to charging infrastructure), but hybrids (like the 4xE) offer benefits.

Funny enough, something like that does become a big consideration. There are at least two of us, in this thread, who...
