2019 RAM HEAVY DUTY: SIX ROUNDS OF RAM HD PUB AMMO Ram product planners apparently reckon steering a truck and trailer rig with a knob is for sissies.

As we both stared at a Prius parked at the curb, I asked him what worried a guy like him about the future. He answered more quickly than I expected (I'm paraphrasing here): "Startup car electric car companies. A gasoline engine has thousands of parts, and it takes a big company with a lot of resources to manufacture. But an electric motor is cheap with one moving part. The barrier for an electric car startup is very low. I worry about them."   VIEW 45 PHOTOS Five years later, his fear is realized: The entire drivetrain of the imminently arriving China-based Byton—its motors and powertrain electrics from Bosch, its underfloor battery pack from  BMW -supplier CATL, with prismatic cells chargeable at a 180 kW rate—has been
