I test drove one when I ended up getting my kia soul instead. It was super nice and really futuristic and cool. It was just way too expensive for me at the time. And probably still is honestly.
Also, in comparison to a Soul, i want a barebones base-model. Quit trying to sell me luxury technology at an inflated price.
Why the fuck does the base model have Wi-Fi hotspot, touch screen navigation, Android auto, Apple carplay, auto-braking collision avoidance, smart cruise, lane assist, heated seats, bluetooth link, parking sensors, heated mirrors, dual temp control, Sirius XM, and more.
it's over $40k USD and none of that shit is necessary.
I want a casket with a battery, a couple motors, and a steering wheel for cheap.
THAT's how you get electric adoption.
Yeah i think you are right. There hasn't been a "peoples car" EV like the original beetle or even the Kia Soul.
If they could get a decent compact ev for around 25k they could sell as many as they can make i think.
