EV SUVs are already a (very popular) thing. I’m sorry that you take issue with that.
OP didn’t say anything about big lifted overlanders, you’re projecting. They, like me, might think the base Bronco is a cute little SUV that is styled well and has a really pretty color combination.
Also, there’s nothing wrong with bringing a wild energy setup for an adventure.
I honestly can’t figure out if you’re butthurt about SUVs, EVs, or lifted trucks. lmao
I think what annoys me is the oxymoronicality (is that even a word?) of the whole thing. We’re excited that EVs pollute less. However, we’re choosing a less efficient, more pollution creating, worse version of the new, better thing: The efficient type of power in the body of a gas guzzler.
ICE vehicles are unsustainable. EVs are also unsustainable but they’re a little better. We should strive for even more efficiency and even less pollution.
I should probably just take my attitude back to the “fuck cars” community.
If we could just have a tax based on carbon footprint it would incentivize better decisions. And perhaps start low and then slowly increase the tax at a constant and predictable rate so industry and consumers can plan ahead. The tax income could also be equally distributed to all citizens, where people with less carbon footprint gets money back. And now we’ll have a thriving economy driving the climate transition.
