    I worry that the benefits of electric cars as a whole are being undercut by the size of new ones. I’m not saying SUVs don’t have a place, I am saying that perhaps a standard-sized sedan is potentially more comfortable, more energy efficient, and lighter. This is a criticism of the car industry at the moment as a whole, but I do not understand this obsession with big, high cars.

      The battery pack in the Hummer EV is the size of 3 other EV batteries combined.

      You could have 3 regular EVs or 1 Hummer.

      Yeah, I think the number signifies the size more than the age/order. These aren’t phone releases, s much as automakers would like us to buy them like smart phones.
