Should Ford pursue a concept like the Fering Pioneer?

I ran across this vehicle not long ago and it's a pretty good idea. I did a quick search and no one has talked about it here.

I wonder if the Bronco would have a bit brighter of a future if instead of a hybrid Ford tried out a full EV with an onboard generator like the Fering Pioneer. The former Ferrari and McLaren engineer claims:

4,350 mile range with extended tank option
800cc onboard generator
Portal axles, but top speed is around 80 mph on what looks like around 44" tires
Approx. 3,300 lbs and capable the same weight in payload
55" water fording, 50° slope traversing,
Lithium titanium oxide batteries to handle temperature extremes

Would be cool to see a Bronco with hard core off grid capability without the $205k price tag haha. Ran across this and I think it's a pretty interesting idea. If the fuel range and battery versatility is legit, it would be a much better idea than a complicated hybrid. Take a look, let me know what y'all think.

It's a good idea, I mean it looks like it's more amphibious than the Bronco.
