A prototype was demonstrated at an off-road track.​


While the Lordstown Endurance pickup approaches a limited production stage, the company works also on other projects that potentially could provide important additional revenue streams.
One such project is the Military Electric Vehicle (MEV), demonstrated during Lordstown Week in June.
It's a six-seat military vehicle based on the same EV tech as the pickup. It has four in-wheel hub motors, for all-wheel drive with torque vectoring between the wheels.

Media representatives had a chance to take a ride in the Lordstown Motors MEV on an off-road track, including jumping and driving through water.


It's not possible to judge capabilities solely from the videos, but it does pretty well and might be a good starting point for a non-armored, patrol EV or some other applications. We assume that the armor would make it much heavier and thus challenging for a BEV application (perhaps a range-extender would be then considered).
