Why do these concept vehicles always have to look this dumb and impractical? Why can’t we get EU sized personal electric vehicles? Think Fiat 500 or the Renault Twingo?
Cuz you guys don't buy them. Got another easy question?
Also because of the way emissions standards are enforced in the US, SUVs and trucks are held to lower emissions standards making them more profitable. They receive the heaviest marketing and therefore sell the most.
Holy fuck, do I love capitalism.
Doesn’t BMW have a little electric commuter?
What do you mean? You will have an electric Fiat 500 in 2024.
