I'd buy one.
I'm priced out of most EV's at the moment and the majority of the ones being made aren't anything I'd want anyway. Sign me up for an electric Miata, I'm there. Big battery, two seats, and with crank windows for all I care. Or a motorcycle...
Mini Cooper se. ~3000lb, technically a 4 seater hatchback, 180hp, 100 mile range. Usually around $20k for a couple of years old. Actually considered it, but unfortunately I probably won't have access to a place to charge over night for the foreseeable future.
Zero Motorcycles. Not super cheap, as far as motorcycles go, but cheaper than a car for sure.
Yes, but predatory pay-to-unlock and subscription model bullshit, just like Tesla. I am well aware of them, and they are on my do not buy list for that reason.
See, this is why we can't have nice things.
