Heavy EVs Are Going to Kill Us All

10 Apr 2022 | Abstracted from Gizmodo

"Consumer Reports found that many EVs have better stopping distances than their gas counterparts. But it depends on the vehicle. Most of their tests involved "lighter" EVs. A lot of the heavier stuff has horrible braking distances. Car and Driver tested the Lucid Air and recorded a 163 foot stop from 70; an Audi RS e-tron needed nearly 48.77 m. Motor Trend recently tested the Hummer EV and while its 41.76 m stopping distance from 60 is better than these cars, it was still three feet worse than a GMC Sierra 3500. "
