Or
Electric bicycle / electric bike / electric trike.
Half the price, double the mileage, double the speed+acceleration, half the charging time, half the cost, half the parking space, 1/4th the traffic.
Agreed... however in countries like mine (Canada) the weather make those useful only half of the year.
PS: no, I am not like those hardcore people who can bike in the winter.
Well, some of these cars have no windows. And if you turned on heating (if they had them) you'd probably lose half of the power and range.
I'm from a northen country as well, where it reaches -30°C. Wouldn't want to be in a kids' shopping cart either.
I do not know the details... however, I could handle the cold as I can drive with my winter gear on... but biking seems impossible to me.
Even if we cannot use these in the dead of winter... we usually don't get to the harsh stuff until mid December and by March is manageable again... with bikes, a normie like myself would have to skip November to May
I think for most people living in the main cities, this could work well ... even great a second car for a fam... I just hate that 99% of my choices are big or bigger... and if I want EV I get to pay for the luxury packages I care little about
They require a different license and skill in my country. Not everyone can ride bikes unfortunately, especially for fear of accidents. Regardless if that fear is well founded or not.
