Inside the industry: Should we accept bulky electric SUVs?
However, in the face of such bulk, serious questions should be asked. Weight compromises efficiency and dynamics, and the safety of other road users, and it raises questions around road damage and tyre wear and more. Each of these individually warrants serious scrutiny, but combined they make me wonder if their makers have actually considered the environmental imperative to consume less that is driving the transition.
Sure, we can marvel at the technical prowess that allows such a large, heavy car to achieve official best-case efficiency of 3mpkWh while offering a claimed range of more than 400 miles. Better that than a fuel-guzzling V8, perhaps. It’s also true that we shouldn’t fixate on the EQS SUV that triggered these thoughts. There are other electric cars on sale today, almost all of which are large SUVs, that are even less efficient – although notably plenty that are more so.
But while it seems logical that allowing the super-rich to greenwash their travel at the expense of others should no longer be acceptable, I’m not sure the car makers have grasped that point.
