"because the average electric vehicle (#EV) owner is wealthier than the average person, they still have a bigger than average carbon footprint"

Wealth is a problem.

@edwiebe

IF automakers allow us to have smaller EVs - like the Chinese ones they fight tooth and nail to keep out of the country - lots more of us would buy one. Seems they don't really believe in that "free market [TM]" thing.

Instead, they prefer to whine that "The consumer" doesn't "want" to buy their EVs.

Well duh. They're too expensive.

@CelloMomOnCars @edwiebe Citroën makes some good EVs. I really like the Ami - a tiny "quadricycle". Top speed 28mph. Range 46 miles. Good for going to the market & around town. About $6,600, if you could get it in US.

@SordidAmok @edwiebe

The Ami will never be sold in the US.

Do you see the Audi A1 here? Okay the BMW 1 series finally made it, after a very long delay. Americans starting to think Germans start counting at 3.

"Americans like large cars!"

A lot of us don't, but they don't give us the choice.

@CelloMomOnCars @SordidAmok @edwiebe still dreaming of a slightly lifted 4x4 EV Honda Fit. It would be our perfect car.

Interestingly the people I see driving them are generally either 14-25 or 60+ in urban/peri-urban environments where all the driving is limited to 50kph anyway. Perfect for going to school and running errands.

(you can get your scooter license at 14 in France)

It's #CarBrain that calls it an EV only if it has four wheels.

In fact, the EV revolution comes on TWO wheels.
