I agree with all this.
Also, we are delving into wars between childless downtown condo dwellers and suburban households of five. A larger suburban family will usually always choose a larger vehicle like an SUV for reasons such as Costco runs, hockey practices and family vacations. They just need the extra space. There are reasons why a larger vehicle might be necessary beyond simple personal preference. Suburban families should not be penalized by misguided priorities in the rebate programs.
The goal should be to encourage EV adoption across the board - period.
