    Fuel economy on faster roads would be ridiculously bad.

      Seems like a subtle downside compared to an enormous upside

      Edit: I’m not sure your claim of ridiculously bad fuel economy is correct. I’ve seen some sources that show slight decreases in fuel efficiency at 20mph. Fuel efficiencies are about the same at 20mph and 75 mph. https://www.mpgforspeed.com/

      And it seems that slower is better for electric vehicles.
