Makes perfect sense to me. Like them or not, those vehicles are hugely popular and make up a sizeable chunk of the gasoline use. Back when people were buying cars, Minivans and Ford Explorer type SUVs were rolling out at well over the 100,000 units/month rate. Raise the fuel economy of those type of vehicles from 16 MPG to 60+ and two things happen, you make a serious dent in US fuel use and you begin to get political leverage to price gasoline appropriately (or at least stop subsidizing it).sjfotos said:I don't know what to make of this. Better to have some more EV type vehicles on the road, but if you are going to drive a chunk of SUV like this are you really in the market for a 32 mile EV range? Thanks for posting Rich.
