You can buy way nicer RVs and limos than that.

It is a comparison between old design and new.

RV might be more suitable for long distance trip or used as mobile house. Not so much for prestige daily/weekly/monthly/yearly usage or for welcoming visiting guest(s) like Rolls Royce.

Not sure if it is true in different places but usage of limo over here is limited by parking space and convenience to make a turn. Hence, it is generally seen only at the final send off progression of people with respected social status. There is no way to compare old design and new since the back is always in one form. 'o' <_>

Batteries prices keep dropping through the floor and at the same time the energy density (WH/KG) keeps increasing at a double digit percentage per year...IE Overall EV weight is dropping with longer ranges per charge and faster charging rates keeps increasing

IE the batteries (LFP) that are now coming to the market in 2025 (oh 2025 is just a few months away) have energy densities of 300wh/kg and 300 watt-hours gets you one mile ....so now EV batteries will drop in weight from 400 kg for a 80 kw-hour (270 mile range) These newer batteries will weigh only 270 KG for the same range...........EVs are now going to be same overall weight comparable to the same sized clunker....Oh my batteries plus the electric motor are now going to be the same weight as a clunker motor (remember Luddites ....Clunker motors are made typically of Cast Iron (same materials that boat anchors are made of)

Clunkers are doomed

Goldman Sachs

Electric vehicle battery prices are expected to fall almost 50% by 2026

Technology advances that have allowed electric vehicle battery makers to increase energy density, combined with a drop in green metal prices...
