No, what I'm saying is that American car makers aren't producing small electric vehicles because Americans refuse to drive small cars, which makes the ridiculously large ones prohibitively expensive because the batteries have to be enormous.

There are definitely a lot of oversize vehicles in North America and trucks do have high sales, there's still plenty of people driving decent sized Japanese vehicles (Toyota, Honda).

I do agree that the "F350 to drive to work and do grocery runs" crap is dumb as fuck though.
