    why not both?

    Although being fair, the other day just out of curiosity I was taking a look at electric cars in my country and almost every single one of them was a needlessly huge SUV.

    There were a few exceptions, but I was not expecting that maybe 25 out of 30 cars were in the bigger size.

      Bigger size = bigger profit margin. We’d be a lot further towards carbon neutral if cars hadn’t grown to ridiculous average sizes while engine efficiency improved a lot.
