I used to want an electric car, hell if 2020 hadn't happened I might have sold my second car and bought one. Really glad I didn't. I've turned and run from electric cars. I don't want one at all even though I totally expect them to get forced. I'm even getting sick of literally everything that still runs on gas having a turbo now. Right now want to get my hands on something with a V8 or maybe a Porsche at the bottom of it's depreciation. New cars are too concerned with sucking all the fun out of cars.
Electric is being pushed really hard. Every car commercial or tech video on cars has involved some kind of electrical motor system. I just saw a video of an electric delivery van with over 2000 HP go against an F1 car. It was promoted by Red Bull.
Drag race is a bad use case for F1 cars too. They typically only have to do a launch once per race. Start going around corners, and an F1 car will run away from everything out there by huge gaps.
Except I don't think it's going to actually save anyone money. If it were going to it might actually be good. Instead they're paperclip maximizing because it helps the MBAs hit some metric some other MBAs assigned to them because it was "trendy" to do so.

I don't doubt it. They need an ad that shows their van is overpowered. Niggling with reality helps them do that.

Modern environmentalism has become an engine for various paperclip maximization projects, like CO2 reduction and the electrification of everything.
That's large organizations for you. If it saves 3 cents per person it saves millions and inconveniences everyone.
