People don’t like small cars. Can’t sell them. Nobody wants a small EV. Build pickup trucks.
ETA: because apparently it’s not immediately obvious: /s
I love my small EV. Gets great mileage, easy to park, and helps me nimbly pick through traffic jams.
Yeah, if the Smart EV was more reasonable I’d have one. My Diesel Smart was brilliant. But it’s hard to justify the cost when it’s literally half a car and not really any cheaper to run. So I got a small EV, but they’re hard AF to find.
