The picture would of course look very different if manufacturers had chosen to make smaller inexpensive electric sedans.

    Another reason to have smaller cars with smaller batteries with shorter ranges, just enough for the every-day commute.

    Why do you need to bring several hundred kilograms of road-tripping range to work and the grocer every-day?

      Depends. I tried the fiat 500e and it would die halfway through the day if you added passengers and air conditioning. Great for a one person car, but if you’re hauling kids and spouses, you’re going to need a larger car with more range. Not necessarily an SUV — but something with at least a 200 mile battery.
