There’s no denying that America is in love with SUVs. And models with three rows of seats are quite popular, especially with larger families. These vehicles are modern-day minivans with better off-road ability and higher towing capacity. While three-row SUVs generally provide more space and utility, they are also large and heavy, making them less fuel-efficient and more dangerous for other road users.
Safety is a difficult problem to solve with larger, heavier vehicles, but electrification is a great way to fix the fuel efficiency issue. In addition, since SUVs are more expensive than smaller, lighter crossovers to start with, the additional cost of electrification has less of an impact on the overall price of the vehicle. As such, electric three-row SUVs are gaining traction with people interested in switching to EVs.
