    If the Chinese EV makers can get their econocars into the US market, the demand will probably surprise folks. Unfortunately the regulatory capture will likely prevent that for years to come. I'm more interested in e-assist cargo bikes since those are somewhat available in comparison.

    An EV mini pickup camper or van would've sweet though.

      I'm pretty serious though, it's obvious for anyone with more than two brain cells that wagons/estates/familiales are the superior EV platform. Longer wheelbase means extra space for the battery skateboard, lower profile means reduced drag and increased efficiency. It's a fucking no-brainer. Let alone the fact that they are superior vehicles in terms of utility. I have what I'd describe as a wagonette, and it has load more trunk space than most SUVs, and plenty of leg and head room even for full grown adults in the back seat.
