Sounds like a great way for EV's to pay their fair share

I think they are talking about a tractor in the semi.
Lots about the list look bogus to me. The impact of a Smart car versus a Prius seems un-believable. The Pruis does 9 times the damage and a simple Rav4 is twice as bad as the Prius. Sounds like the author has a soft spot for Smart Cars. If you get a chance drive one! The first time it shifts you'll swear something broke in the drive train. Be careful when following one. It completely drops all power before the shift and delays power return far longer than necessary. The car "nose dives" and decelerates between shifts. Feels BROKEN when that happens. Years ago, I banned all French cars from my bays, Peugeots and Renaults are impossible to fix and parts are rare and often don't work when brand new. The Smart Car is made in France. Some of them have 3 bolt wheels... "Not a Car" in my book. There was an EV model. One review stated, "It was so quiet that you could hear your regret!" Who-ever came up with the chart appears to know little about cars... They also have NO idea what a loaded semi rig weighs. |

The joke we have in South Africa is that the smart cars were banned from the parks. Seems like the elephants were trying to mate with them.
I have a picture of a tourist in a rental Golf. Elephant was sitting on the hood. Can bet that was a fight at return I think they are talking about a tractor in the semi.
