Almost everyone I know could absolutely use a small electric vehicle with under 100mi range, since almost nobody I know travels more than 100mi/dayor needs anything other than personal, usually individual transport. The obvious solution is public transit, but we all know how much the US likes to invest in infrastructure…

This has been true since the 70s, and there have been many attempts at making vehicles like this commercially viable but none have succeeded.

Turns out that while people may only need 30 miles of range and individual transport, they want a car that can do more than that.

And that "more" is apparently touch screens and impossibility of repair.
