EVs in general are stupid. Enormous batteries belong on solar and wind farms not in vehicles that cost more to have a limited range that can take hours, and in some cases days, to "refuel."

Yes the meter high factory lifted pickups are pretty dumb. That's why my trailer is about 16 inches off the ground.
Grid batteries are pretty much useless. It takes thousands of tesla car batteries just to replace the output of a power plant for an hour. We old be much better off with more EVs and exporting all that gasoline.
The only people who have to charge their electric vehicles for days are math rubes who assumed level 1 charging would be fast enough. Before I even bought my leaf I knew level 1 charging wasn't going to cut it.
