    “World’s largest EV”

    Blatantly untrue. Larger EVs have been in use for more than a century at this point in the form of EMU trains.

      I’ll pick up the pedantic torch. Trains are made of train cars, I’d argue each one is a separate car or vehicle even though they’re strapped together.

      I feel like The ISS ticks a lot of the boxes for a vehicle though, how big is that?

        Sure, but quite often in EMUs the cars come in sets that can’t operate disconnected from each other, so I’d argue that they still comprise a single vehicle.

        I’d argue that the ISS, due to lacking means of propulsion (unless you count explosive decompression) is not a vehicle.
