Goddamnit STOP MAKING EV SUVS

An "urban SUV" sounds like a minivan for people too embarrassed to admit they want a minivan.

Sleek and SUV does not go together

Electric SUVs are the epitome of stupidity.

How far can I drive with a multiple metric tonnes heavy car like that with one charge and real-world usage and environme? 80-100 Miles compared to several hundreds of miles for a normal sized electric car or even a small city car?

EVs are awesome, but designing a combustion engine car and installing an electric motor is just nonsense.

Funnily enough, one of the sanest EVs, the original Hyundai Ioniq, is just that.

Might also make the same argument for the e Golf and Fiat 500e and some others.
