The "more powerful" is causing more crashes, and the results of those crashes are worse because electric cars weigh significantly more than gas powerd cars. The extra weight also causes more damage to the roads
If efficiency is important, bike your short trips
cool, you like on an island and don't own a car, im happy for you. but for many of us, we cannot simply uproot and move somewhere that's so friendly to the carless, and until public transit gets proper funding and expansion (it won't) we still need to live somewhere, work somewhere, shop somewhere.
If you think a 3500 lb EV is doing more damage to the road, let me tell you about the 7500 lb gas or diesel pickup trucks. Oh and can't forget the semis that could be up to 80,000 lbs
