It’s all going to be SUV’s going forward not just because they’re more popular but also the higher ride height makes them much easier to electrify (more room for batteries).
Interesting point. I hadn’t thought about that. I just assumed it was following the trend that happened in the USA many years ago. It does raise yet another challenge for the future adoption of electric cars, which are already expensive compared to ICE cars, as SUV’s and crossovers carry a price premium over ‘car’ equivalents, so a double whammy cost wise. Some who buy small new cars nowadays may be forced to buy second hand in future, with the associated risks of buying second hand electric cars (battery life etc). I’m just not convinced that this has all been thought through particularly well.
