I am making the claim that while these vehicles may be useful for hauling stuff around farms they should not be abused (see Hummer, Jeep, SUV, pickup trucks, massive mommy waggons). While electric motors allow us to reduce the CO2 emissions somewhat the energy does not magically come from nowhere: there are externalities associated with all methods of power generation. It is a truism that when people think they're getting a bargain they then over-consume and end up consuming more than they would have if the price were higher initially. I would like to see that not happening with electric vehicles. Reduction in energy consumption is easily achieved by not chosing a ridiculously heavy, non-aerodynamic vehicle.
