I don’t really see the point of this. It’s just adding complexity for the sake of it. As far as I can tell when you change gear it just changes some software parameters, there are no physical gears. Yet there’s a clutch and the ability to stall?

    Well, there’s been a few comments from car execs that small cars don’t make sense in the context of EVs. As you can get the footprint down to hatch size but it’s going to be way heavier than expected due to the battery and probably ride a bit higher to fit the battery skateboard

        It’s already kind of dead in NA with some holdouts, the “crossover” mostly took over. Honda discontinuing the Fit here but introducing the HRV on the Fit platform is a perfect indicator of the overall trend.

          I hadn’t heard this until now, and now I’m sad. The Fit was a great little car. Guess I better get one while they’re cheap.
