It’s called a cross over. Basically a large hatchback. It’s not a SUV if it’s not built like a truck, IE body on frame construction

They used to. GM had the Chevy Bolt and Kia had the Soul EV. The bolt is supposedly coming back, but I don’t have much faith that it will be small and economical like the previous version.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
