Need battery space also SUVs/crossove s hold more people. And EV busses will be great as well.

    Why do you need it to hold more people when most trips are with one or two people? Also, most families tend to have two cars, so they don't need both to be big.

    Also, most SUVs hold the same as a sedan: 5 people. And they don't hold more stuff, generally speaking, because they lose so much space being higher up. If you want to carry more people, look at minivans.

    People buy SUVs because they're higher up, not because they're better at much of anything.

    I have three, so I think I can definitively say an SUV is not necessary with kids. We had a Prius until the third one came along, then we got a minivan, but only because my brother was getting rid of his. We now want to downsize because we rarely have more than just us in it, but it's frustrating because many of the SUVs have less storage space than our Prius.

    I wish station wagons were still a thing, specially if it has jump seats. Everything with a similar amount of space is absolutely massive.
