| The Hummer is a limited production expensive vehicle. The original Hummer was also extremely heavy : 1995 Hummer H1 6766 2005 Hummer H2 SUT 6780 2006 Hummer H1 Alpha 7558 2009 Hummer H2 6614 -------Stopping distance 2022 Hummer - 70mph 211 ft 2005 Hummer H2 SUT - 70mph 214ft 2008 Hummer H2 - 60mph 152ft (motortrend) Bringing up the Hummer as an example of EVs makes no sense, they've sold less than 1000 so far. Just in 2022 the F150 sold 653k units. Let's look at weight for the 5 most popular vehicles in the US in 2022. ------- Top 5 Vehicles of 2022 (Car and Drive, Trims excluded so I used the entire range) 1. F150 4000 - 5740 2. Chevy Silverado 4490 - 5240 3. Dodge Ram 4775 - 6439 4. Toyota Rav 4 3370 - 3655 5. Camry 3310 - 3595 Finally, why does weight matter to you so much? Not stopping distance, safety systems, front end design? If I get hit with a vehicle that weighs X pounds and it causes me to die what does it matter if it weighed 2x the amount? Can you show there's a meaningful difference between 3000 pounds, 4000 pounds, and 5000 pounds when you strike someone? If you are concerned about EV safety because of weight, don't want to restrict non-EV trucks, and used the Hummer EV as an example I believe you are arguing disingenuously. sources:
