Why do these concept vehicles always have to look this dumb and impractical? Why can’t we get EU sized personal electric vehicles? Think Fiat 500 or the Renault Twingo?

Also because of the way emissions standards are enforced in the US, SUVs and trucks are held to lower emissions standards making them more profitable. They receive the heaviest marketing and therefore sell the most.

Holy fuck, do I love capitalism.
