"Insurers, who say the vehicles are too likely to be stolen, seem to be deaf to the suffering of owners whose only fault was to buy an obese status symbol coveted by many hard-working criminals, as well as by Prince Andrew.". Damn, savage! It's a good article, though. EVs are heavy enough, without continuing to make SUVs part of the product lineup.
I think this is just another news cycle to pit normal citizens against each other to blame for current crisises. Given the utility of an SUV, I assume the difference is marginal.
I'm pretty sure the general recipient of attacks on SUVs is the manufacturers. They're the ones building and advertising the planet killers, and lobbying against restrictions.
