Tesla may be tanking the EV industry

That really comes down to power density. It’s far easier to take a +4k pound SUV and swap it over to electric because it is already a larger platform and you won’t really notice adding in another +1k pounds of weight. Taking a Fit and converting it to electric means either sacrificing range because of space and weight or a large redesign increasing both size and weight. If battery energy density was twice were it is now most of these issues would be moot.
