Why no affordable 7 seat EVs
As per the title, there are so many options of 5 seat EVs into the 30-60k range yet the only 7 sets options seems to be around 100k+ (e.g. Kia EV9). There is not such a huge gap in price for ICE cars where prices of 5 and 7 seat SUVs are close and often overlap and there are many options the 50-60k range. But with EVs, People with big families basically have no option unless they can spend the equivalent of luxury car prices. Why is there this obvious market gap? It's not like you suddenly need to double the battery size if you stretch the wheelbase slightly and add two extra folding seats in the boot
