        yup. i love my EV but my dream would be a hatchback EV. fucking US car manufacturers have brainwashed everyone to think they need an EV of some sort. yay rugged individualism.

          Brainwashed everyone to think they need an EV of some sort.

          I think Americans in rural areas (and really really spread out suburban areas) need them due to lackluster infrastructure. (Yes there are better fixes but they take more time.)

          I also wouldn’t be shocked if the convenience added to even rural Europeans might be worth it, though anyone in a city is just silly for owning a car.

          For everyone else, if you count ebikes/mopeds/rickshaws, everyone having some sort of EV isn’t too crazy.

          Love my 14-year-old civic but I hope that by the time it dies my BBSHD equipped bike is enough.

      People are only buying crossovers. Don’t blame car companies for making cars people buy.
