The bigger Prius models weigh as much as a light truck used to (when light trucks were still available). It isn't just the supersized EVs that are contributing to the bloat.
- baby-yoda 4y agothinking back to the GM EV1, in my imagination the future was a place of efficiency and continuous improvement. some of these new EVs feel like we've gone back to the excess and somewhat laziness of the 90s (badge engineering, inefficient, grotesque). models like the VW XL1 and BMW i3 were so exciting, as we shifted towards alternative drivetrains we could sort of "reset" what the auto market had evolved to in the last 25-30 years. they're certainly not mass market vehicles but other models could have followed their lead.
