      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.

        The EV fans tip toe around the fact that not only do they suck the life out of the electric grid, which they fight every step of the way when power co’s want to produce more power , especially nuclear which is as clean as it gets, but that the lithium batteries are incredibly toxic and can’t be recycled. Same goes for the off the chart levels of toxicity that comes from solar panels which dont live 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.
