Especially here in Europe we're not so invested in gas guzzlers (and cars in general really depending on the country). Cars tend to be very compact, so much that American movies often make fun of them.

That's your bubble talking, the reality goes in the other direction.

Especially because more and more people have installed solar panels since the Ukraine war increased energy prices a lot. With that they can charge their cars for free.

In the Netherlands delivered electricity can right now be taken off the bill per kWh but in the future this will change, and during sun hours the delivered kWh won't be worth a lot. But using it for charging a car will still mean free fuel.
