It’s not just a problem with EVs either. Gas powered cars keep getting larger and more expensive too. Ford has stopped selling sedans and compacts in North America altogether for example. VW got rid of the two door Golf and the Beetle. Fiat stopped selling the 500 in the US. You can’t buy a truck like the Chevy LUV anymore.

Oh, I completely agree. Our vehicle bloat is ridiculous.
