Commercial vehicles are not as powerful as you think... The Scania P-series which is often used for garbage trucks in Europe has engines ranging from 200hp to 500hp [0]. Cargo vans like the Fiat Ducato are typically not much more than 100hp.
Cars on the other hand... The Mercedes GLE mid-range SUV starts at 245hp, and has options all the way up to 612hp. Why on earth do you need so much power in a family car?

- rightbyte 6y agoAnything more than 150hp for a non-sports car is just silly. I actually feel that the insane acc that Tesla makes normal for non-sport cars might be a safety hazard. There will probably be many "hits the acc pedal instead of brakes" accidents when they get more common.
