The P2 is technically classified as a crossover, not a sedan. And since it’s a full EV, the body style doesn’t really impact how it’s handled for emissions laws. It’s the shape and ride height are all about curb appeal and driver satisfaction over max range.
If someone doesn’t have good public transportation options, and they need a car, and they hate how a more streamlined vehicle looks, I’d rather that person buy a boxy EV over a boxy ICE car.
That’s an excellent point, EV doesn’t have that offroad cheat. Please ignore me shouting into the void about the general market trend of making everything bigger.
I can’t truly say I hate these compromises to keep something smaller than an SUV. I had a Geo Tracker for a while and enjoyed the higher seat height without actually driving a large vehicle. It was so short (2 door) that it didn’t really impede others’ vision, especially when I removed half the roof.
