In all fairness, I can see very small electrics strictly for city commute daily to work...IF THE WEATHER IS NOT TOO COLD. Like you pointed out, defroster and heating the car would kill the batteries quickly. It could help reduce smog in big cities.
But the luxury electrics are only for rich liberals who are pseudo and wacko environmentalists. Those who preach against SUV’s by common folks, but then fly around in their private jets.

Good point. Traffic jams aren’t fun in cold weather either for electric cars...you have a choice of either freezing to death in the car, or running out your battery and then freezing to death in the car.
Cars that run directly on fuel have the ADVANTAGE of allowing capture of waste heat (that is what the heater core does). Cars that run indirectly on fuel (i.e., electrics) have that same heat go up the smoke stack of the coal-burning powerplant.

Except for the fact that few in the city have a garage to plug one in. The little details like that always get in the way.
