    Can we also curb those big fat ugly SUVs in the rest of the world? They are not only more polluting but infinitely more dangerous.

      EVs are such a mess in North America. Unless I want a Tesla it feels like I can only get gigantic SUVs or expensive luxury cars.

      I just want to replace my Mazda 3 with an electric equivalent

        I was so excited when I heard Mazda was making an electric vehicle. But what they made was a joke, not even 100 miles on a charge. I also want to replace my 3 with an electric of the same size.

          I understand what they were going for. Batteries are heavy, so keep the car light and nimble and completely impractical as anything but a local commuter.

        • Renault Megane E-tech Electric
        • VW ID.3
        • Volvo EX30

        And there’s quite a lot more brands with EVs in that size bracket coming out in the near future
