I’m curious how popular small commuter vehicles would be. People spend a few thousand on ebikes and scooters. Would two seats with minimal cargo room, be the kind of thing that could be sold for 4-8k?
False on both counts Bubba. Let me guess, you drive your extended cab f150 everywhere “just incase” you need it?
Grocery shopping shouldn’t need to happen more than every couple days. Really once or twice a week should be enough. And do both you and your spouse need to go grocery shopping every day? Maybe one of you drives the small vehicle and the other the family vehicle?
Don’t get me wrong, I also prefer to have the extra space, but I’m planning on buying a small hybrid truck so at least I am being more fuel efficient with it.
Wow, 0 to 100 km/h in 4 seconds, solar powered and looks like made by Gutamaya! Shuddup an’ take my money! I hope it takes off and vehicles like this become the norm for commuting.

For fucks sake it should be. Most commutes don’t need cargo space.
Pretty much this.

That’s already available now as the Smart Fortwo Electric, and it’s nearly $30k.
30k is a problem. It’s in the same price bracket as inexpensive ICE SUVs.
I’m not saying it isn’t. I’m just saying you’ll likely never see one brand new under $10K like you want, or even under $20K.
I really like the idea of the Aptera for this.
Lowest could potentially be 25k but essentially free to operate, and hopefully easier to repair than mainstream evs, which very much are not.
But they haven’t fully climbed the startup hill so I’ll have to wait and see.

I’d buy one tomorrow.
I’ve hunted hard as fuck for a Kei truck as it’d be perfect for my rural use case and not cost a ton and not take up a ton of room
Illegal where I live because fuck you
