Emissions aside, those big SUVs are so ugly and unnecessary for your average driver.
And because they’re heavier, there’ll be more wear and tear on the roads too.
Oh man this one is so big for maintenance costs, the damage is exponential! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_power_law
Which mostly means it doesn't matter. Car vs electric truck is basically a rounding error compared to either a lorry or the regular freeze-thaw cycle.
