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.
I’m going to take the OP at his word. As a big guy you’re probably only going to be happy with a big vehicle, which generally means an expensive vehicle. Your options then are to spend more or wait for a used one.
On the market now: Highlander hybrid, Sienna, Pacifica PHEV, Mazda c-90 PHEV, Tacoma Hybrid, Santa Fe hybrid or PHEV, Grand Cherokee phev, Kia EV9, F150 lightning, Cadillac Lyriq, Rav4 Prime, Rivian R1t or R1s, Blazer EV
Coming soon: Ram REV or Recharger, Silverado EV, Cybertruck , Volvo EX90, VW ID Buzz
I imagine you should be able to find something on this list that works for you today or soon on the new or used market.
