Hopefully this will make a number of people reconsider the size of the vehicles they require, and switch to smaller hybrids and/or EVs.
The new BYD ATTO1 is really tempting as a secondary run-around car for when me or the missus needs to do a solo trip.

The result of that would be significantly more strain on the grid, and even more increases in power prices. Yay.
I love EV’s and my next car will be one, but we need to get our power grid shitshow sorted before any significant percentage of people get EVs or we’ll be up a creek without a paddle.

They don’t make supply hoping for extra demand anymore. It goes the other way around.
