    I wish automakers were able to/would actually import some of their cheaper electric vehicles from east asian markets.

    The Honda N-Van e would suit the needs of the vast majority of people. 124mi of range and only ~$8,000.

      I wouldn’t mind a Tuk Tuk. Could use about half the year without issue. My daily commute doesn’t involve highways and for repairs any motorcycle shop could handle it.

      i would love them here, too… but kei cars would not fair well on u.s. roads vs all the heavy, oversized pickups and suv.

      they would also not be nearly as economical, in terms of purchase cost or efficiency, when built for the u.s. market.
