Build Back Bigger?

Why, why, why, why, every time President Biden promotes electric vehicles, is he always showing off electric SUVs and pickups the size of Ohio? 

He was in Detroit yesterday pointing out the benefits of electric vehicles and how developing them and installing more public chargers for them will make American companies and workers more innovative and prosperous, as he's done before.  Instead of speaking next to a Chevrolet Bolt or a Ford Mustang Mach-E, though, he extols the virtues of vehicles such as the humungous Ford F-150 Lightning or, as he did yesterday, the obnoxiously big GMC Hummer.

A car guy like Biden should know that, gasoline-powered or electric, such big vehicles take too much raw material to produce, they're too cumbersome to drive, and they're little more than refrigerators in wheels.

Dear Mr. President: Stop pandering to red-state voters who won't give up their pickup trucks and off-road wagons who will never vote for you anyway.  Start promoting small, compact, fun-to-drive EVs instead!  Americans should learn that bigger isn't always better, and we can't have our cake and eat it too by purchasing and driving monster wagons that don't emit carbon monoxide.  These monstrosities have made driving an absolute terror for those of us who appreciate the small size and agility of a Volkswagen compact.

Yeah, I bought German.  And I will again, if VW ever sends its Golf-sized ID.3 to the States!
