Chinese Carmakers Roll Out Electric Models Catering to Camping Craze

Geely, the automaker whose parent controls Volvo Cars and Polestar, last week unveiled a new-energy pickup truck brand, called Radar. Its first model, a fully electric beast that can run more than 600 kilometers on a charge, should be available in the fourth quarter.
