Search Carice ev. Hope it catches on.
That’s a beauty.
Omg warn a person they might actually orgasm looking at that car! God that is sexy. Of course, it’s very expensive and won’t ever be “affordable,” but I would buy one immediately if I could justify that cash on a vehicle.
I’m a bit faint now.
Looked it up thinking it was sarcasm, my god that dash. I love everything about it.
I know right? I think I would cry if I got in it. It’s a masterpiece.
Honestly, I live in a mostly rural area. It’s 40 miles to the biggest large town/city, I’m 15 minutes to a grocery store. I’m lucky to work from home, but before that, I worked 20 minutes away. Even something with only an 80 mile range would do what I need it to do, so long as I can charge in public. I wouldn’t like having that range, but I’d take it. IF IT DIDN’T COST AS MUCH AS A SHITTY HOUSE. Seriously, give us some cheap EVs that people can upgrade from later on and sell in the secondary market so poor folk like me can buy the equivalent of 98 Toyota Corolla.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t part of the problem that the auto industry wants to chase the higher profit margins on larger vehicles? As long as the perverse incentive is present it’s going to be an uphill battle to get them to produce more compact, cost effective cars.
EPA rules also play a part. Why we can’t have small trucks:

Pick any source ya like.
That’s exactly the problem — in the US there’s an extra tariff on larger vehicles, so the manufacturers face less competition and therefore earn greater profits if they only make big vehicles.
Smaller cars need a good balance of range and charging speed. It’s fine if the car only goes 150 miles to the charge if it can recharge to full in 20 minutes.
Past compact EVs have gone around 80 to 100 and only come with slow charging. That’s not going to cut it anymore.
The Japanese should sell electric KEI cars. Perfect for small runabouts, just make sure the interior also holds up.
