By contrast, if we consider a compact SUV, the most popular car for purchase in North America (Brazeau 2021), weighing approximately 1,500 kg (Axsen and Bhardwaj 2024) with an average of 1.2 passengers (“EOD23 - Enquête Origine-Destination,” n.d.) weighing 100 kg each (same assumption as e-micromobility), the maximum speed of the car would need to be 7.3 km/h to match the same 3,375 joules considered for the e-micromobility. For a full-size SUV (approximately 2560 kg), the maximum speed would be 5.7 km/h (Hawley 2021).

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
