EVs Have Gotten Too Powerful by Jason Barlow

But when it comes to performance, straight-line speed is only one part of the equation, and getting a heavy vehicle to rotate properly into and out of corners isn’t easy to do. The laws of physics will always prevail, even if an EV’s layout (the batteries are often located under the floor) permits a helpful reduction in the center of gravity. Let’s all remember the US consumer advocacy nonprofit group Center for Auto Safety’s conclusion that compares the Cybertruck’s potential to harm pedestrians to “a guided missile” because of its Autopilot features, prodigious speed, and weight.

Not sure I agree a hundred percent on this. I enjoyed driving the Ford Kuga more because of its engine and higher horsepower.

But the bigger sizes of SUVs combined with the higher weights is a worry.

The world needs smaller nimbler vehicles. Most of the people most of the time don’t need an SUV. I sure don’t.

Every time I pass by a Yaris or a Gulf, I feel maybe I should have bought this instead.

It’s not practical for us though. For all the times when we need to carry the pram.

That however, is not as often as you would think.
