User highlights that current mini EVs are too slow or have too little range, limiting them to neighborhood use. They desire mini EVs with improved performance to be useful beyond short commutes.
The problem I see with these mini EV's is that they are either better used as a neighborhood car in the US and never any further than the suburbs because they are either too slow, or have to little range to be helpful for anything but maybe the short drive to and from work, but never leaving town. I mean it seems great for reducing the need for the fuel powered vehicle to those times that you have to go outside of town. Don't get me wrong, it would be nice to get some of the Chinese options where I am, on the grounds that I could have a car with minimal upkeep for a quarter of the cost of even the cheapest of cars available.
