There's an EV Hummer... they can figure it out.

Yeah, I did some cursory research and the reason most claimed is that minivans are simply not that popular.

But neither are Hummers, yes they appeal to some people but you really don't see a lot of them out on the road.

Minivans are extremely popular in the US, when lifted and with the roof removed from the back.

I wouldn't call it mini though.

The hauling capacity is equivalent to a minivan, even if the footprint is bigger.

Is that true? They are big but seem naturally… round. Teardrop-y.

LiAuto Mega had drag coefficient of just 0.215 cd

Yeah, it'd likely need 150kwh or so. That'd probably make it a $70k product, and I doubt the market for $70k minivans is huge.

Then again, that is about the price of the id.buzz and some find it appealing with its much smaller pack.
