Given that we'll unlikely get @EUCommission to abolish #Spyware like #eCall from #cars I propose that instead, manufacturers need to look outside that impractical envelope if they want to build #EVs (even #BEVs ffs!) that people can actually afford by focussing on other Vehicle classes.

• I know #L2e may be deemed too restrictive at a deadweight of 270kg, 4kW output [measured on the wheels], 45km/h tops and 1+1 capacity even tho this will be sufficient for most trips from #suburbia to #downtown in car-centric shitholes like #LA during #RushHour but I digress...

• #L5e removes the weight limitations (unlike #L6e & #L7e which only allows #batteries to be discounted from it's 425kg/450kg-600kg max deadweight) and keeps things at a reasonable 15kW output [system output] which is almost precisely 1/3 of my car but with #ElectricVehicles there's way more #torque and thus #acceleration, which is what makes a vehicle actually feel fast and zippy, so it should be on-par if not feel faster given that #Autobahn segments without speed limits are an exception and noone in their right mind expects a sub-€10k PLV to be cushy like an Audi A4.

• Also for fuck sake give us a goddamn #CCS2 #charging socket on the vehicle not just on €13k+ luxury scooters but on like everything because that's an #EU standard and every actual #ChargingStation should support that. If necessary make it a single-phase charging thing if that's the only way possible!
