My biggest beef with EV buyers is their obsession with range, and their complete and utter disregard for efficiency. Why do we obsess over fuel economy for our ICE cars but have zero awareness of what the equivalent figures are for the various EVs.

Imagine 2 seemingly environmentally conscious buyers debating between a Corolla and a Hummer:

"How far can the Corolla go on a tank? 325mi. OK, well how far can the Hummer go? Well it's got the extended safari tank, so it can go 500mi. Got it, so obviously I'm going to get the Hummer."

No ICE buyers who have any concern for the environment would ever compare two ICE cars using only the total range figure, and completely disregard the MPG. In fact it's the complete opposite. Most would consider the Hummer absurd solely due to its atrocious fuel economy.

Similarly, these same people will say things like:

"Be sure to turn off the lights when you leave a room"

"I changed out my LEDs because they're so much more efficient than those old incandescents"

So why are they so obsessed with saving electricity in that context, but never even begin to think about the equivalent value for, say, a Tesla Y vs. a Rivian? In fact a Rivian has the same "green cred" to most buyers as does a Model 3. Yet the same person would chastise someone for running incandescent bulbs or for leaving the lights on when you leave the house.

I'm certain that the difference in electrical energy usage between a month of driving a Rivian vs say a Model 3 overshadows a year of using LEDs bulbs in your house vs incandescents. Yet no one even thinks about it.

People are incredibly illogical when it comes to EVs.
