      They are a lot more efficient in their class and might convince some ICE drivers to switch. Their range tends to be quite good. Unfortunately they have drawbacks:

      • They require a very large battery. If you don’t find >150kW chargers, you’ll be waiting a long time
      • More batteries per car = worse environmental impact from production
      • Road degradation grows by the fourth power w.r.t. vehicle weight. The big batteries make electric SUVs very heavy
      • SUVs are more dangerous for pedestrians due to their size
      • In a crash SUVs deliver much more energy, killing more people.

        It comes from the same ball of gases in the sky that you apparently stared at for too long.

        People say everything is possible ? Musk, the step father of the modern EVs also said electricity would be free back in the day. Something’s fishy around here.
