Any appeal to the environment is just branding though. A private vehicle of this weight is going to be highly destructive however we look at it. Even in terms of local air quality there will be significant pollution from non-exhaust emissions such as car tyre wear and brake dust (even with regenerative braking).

It's meeting half-way. People who want these cars will continue buying them regardless so we might as well make something that's better.
