        • they’re heavier, which negatively impacts efficiency in many respects
        • they’re physically larger and tend to be boxy, both of which induce substantially more aerodynamic drag, and had serious implications on pedestrian safety as well
        • all else being equal, they have a higher center of gravity, which impacts stability and driving dynamics when compared to cars
