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?

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.

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.
