      A gallon of gas contains 33.7 kWh of energy.

      ICE sedans get on average 31.7 miles per gallon, which is 0.94 miles per kWh.

      Most electric SUVs get 3-4 miles per kWh depending on temperature and driving conditions. Electric sedans get 4-5 miles per kWh.

      You may generally dislike SUVs, but those Electric SUVs are still a far cry better than the gas sedans you’re giving a pass.

          Should I give it in terms of inverse Newtons, squared seconds per kilogram-meter? That would be a proper SI reduction for ya :P

          “fauxCD”

          Stealing that. A big pet peeve of mine is the hijacking of the term “OCD” by almost everyone so they can use it incorrectly, and then people with an actual panic disorder aren’t taken seriously.

        Yes but they’re still as butt ugly as the rest of the SUVs they’re making. And they don’t handle well. And they’re fucking huge.

      I have one of these and it is not an SUV at all. It is a hatchback that is a foot shorter than a Honda accord and only 7” taller.

          I’m not sure where you’re getting the poor handling or the high CoG from. It has a low CoG because the battery components are installed near the bottom and they make up a large percentage of the car’s weight.

          It also handles quite well, mostly thanks to the low CoG. It feels firmly planted and is very nimble in turns. Sure, it’s not an e46 M3 but it would be crazy to expect that.

          It also sounds to me like you don’t actually even know what an SUV is. I know it seems crazy but there’s no requirement to comment if you’re uninformed on a subject and aren’t capable of adding value to the discussion.

            Looks like kinda like an suv, at least. Why did they make it so tall? what’s with the SUV-like shape?
