I wonder how much MPG is really gained by lowering the car so much that this is an issue. If GM built the Volt or the Bolt with SUV like clearance, how much MPG is really lost in EV mode?
In EV mode, the MPG is already very high at something like 100+. Does it really matter that much if the car sits higher, has bigger wheels, looks more manly, and be far more versatile instead? Who cares if it's 125mpg vs 100mpg? Given the choice, I'd take the 100mpg EV with higher ground clearance any day.
