@arstechnica a wide spread what?

@arstechnica nooooo, we really do want minivans. Microtrucks. Kei trucks. Small form factor easily-customizable work-oriented EV vehicles.

@arstechnica not SUVs we want Sedans. Damn it, we are all burned out on ridiculously large inefficient vehicles that are both expensive and dangerous.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @arstechnica some of us need to haul equipment to soccer practice and the church volunteer function. Trunk space is needed

@orenbell @arstechnica key word "some" not most. Yet the some have dictated the overwhelming majority of the market.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @arstechnica And heavy. You're going to be going through a lot of tires riding around in a 2 1/2 ton beast like some of these road and bridge destroyers

Nobody Told EV Owners How Quickly They Burn Through Tires

It looks like a case of adoption leapfrogging education.

@Sh4d0w_H34rt @dave_heumann @arstechnica I keep seeing this referenced, but as the current owner of two EVs and since having them for 12 years it has not been my experience. Go figure.

@NailClippings @dave_heumann @arstechnica the keys here are vehicle weight and high performance showing off.
