I addressed that in my comment. People have been programmed to think an EV is supposed to be a replacement for an ICE vehicle. What we should be doing is marketing them as an inexpensive additional vehicle for most routine daily commuting.
That’s how I used mine for almost 8 years and nearly 90K miles before I sold it. It averaged about 90 miles to a charge for most of that time. I had 2 other ICE cars for longer trips.
I loved my EV. Charging overnight was really convenient. In all that time I never had any maintenance other than new tires and a new car battery. Amazingly it still used a standard car battery. I was surprised by that. The regenerative motor braking made the brakes last forever.
You sold a 10 year old no frills EV, why did you sell it?
Street legal golf carts (LSV) which are rated for roadways under 35 MPH assuming the community allows them. They have to have headlights, blinkers, rear view mirrors, brake lights, crush proof roofs and etc. Bare bone ones start around $10K if not more. It is hard to see you could get a no frills EV with limited range for anything under $20K
