Hawaii EV has highlighted the need to ‘right-size’ our EV purchases. While this may have been challenging in the past, there are many options today – from tiny cars to trucks and SUVs – so there is an EV for just about any need. Right-sizing, a strategy that also applies to gas cars, simply means buying a vehicle that is fit for purpose – not too small or large. An electric vehicle that is too big will mean spending more than is necessary, using more electricity than required, replacing tires more frequently, and contributing to a larger environmental footprint.
