There's room in the market for both of these types of vehicles. Asking people who typically buy big luxury cars to 'just buy a smaller car' would be nice in theory, but isn't going to happen in practice. There are many reasons, valid or potentially invalid, to own a larger car or a truck, and often you're not going to change people's minds on that.
- iancmceachern 3y agoI agree. I'm saying that the folks buying the former should not be doing so under the pretense that it's better for the environment, or society.
- Kirby64 3y agoBut, no, that's not right. If someone is typically a buyer of a ... Range Rover, or a BMW X5, or something like that, then replacing that car with an EV of equivalent size makes a proportionally larger impact on the environment than someone who replaces their Corolla with a small EV.
- iancmceachern 3y agoYour missing the point. An EV is not necessary better than a gas car. An EV like the Plaid X or the Hummer EV actually use the equivalent of more fuel than the competition. A gas X5 is more energy efficient than a X.
