Its something many don’t factor in to their green posturing. That electric vehicles weigh more than gas and the electricity source isn’t always clean. They also are death bricks if they hit anything smaller.

By all means get a EV hummer to save on gas, but your doing no service to anyone else.
Absolutely not.

- There are heavy duty vehicles on roads all the time
- A Tesla Model 3 weighs less than a Ford F-150
- EVs have regenerative braking which means significantly less brake and tire wear
