I went to check out some EVs this past weekend as the price point for entry-level EVs is comparable to the value of my Tundra. Important: I am 6’3" and wear a size 60 jacket as I have broad shoulders. I tested out the Mach-E, the Ioniq 5, the F-150 Lightning, and a number of hybrids.
With the exception of the Ioniq 5 and the F-150 Lightning, literally the interiors of every EV and hybrid were either too narrow or too short for me to comfortably fit in. Their ICE equivalents though, are large enough.
So why are so many EVs designed for smaller people? Will there be EVs with larger interiors? Or are large people advised to stick with ICEs or Teslas?
Side note: I haven’t tried a Tesla yet, I’m reluctant to buy a small hatchback so the Ioniq is out, and I don’t have an $80K budget for the F-150. I want a midrange vehicle in the 40K price range.
as someone who is the same sazes as you the Tesla Model 3 will be comfortable but getting in and out requires some adjustment as its low to the ground!
leg room and set adjustment give a good amount of room.
