@davidho Germany's gov recently decided to subsidize buying electric cars - but only bigger EVs. These small cars are not included in the subsidies.

@davidho but, but... I need to carry more than ONE bag of groceries, and sometimes I have a passenger or four... and sometimes I want to be able to survive driving in weather ore serious than a breeze or drizzle... or going over a steep street of more than 15degrees... or further than 3miles....

I wind up with kind of the opposite reaction: At that point, why not rather get a bakfiets, or even just a shopping bag on wheels to bring on the tram?
But I guess my perspective is influenced by not having owned a car for over a decade, and instead renting a van for bulky stuff and "normal" cars for trips w/friends/family a couple of times a year.

@davidho designed for parking in Italian city centres which are notoriously medieval. Small cars have always been a thing in Italy because of this problem. Two of these will fit into a convention parking place. It's purely practical for city life (if you have to drive...)

@davidho I pretty well only use a car when I've got more stuff to transport than would fit in that (I use a bike otherwise). So I don't think I'd have a use case for that one.

@davidho I'd drive a Mini Cooper if it weren't for the Airstream I need to tow

@davidho I made the personal rule at one point of "It is big enough if I can fit a 50-pound dog in the cargo area." Having the dog in the passenger seat proved difficult. That is the reason why I ended up with an eGolf instead of a Chevy Bolt.

There is a genuine need for safety. Therefore this gadget is officially not a car.
However it would fit for most needs, and together with an appropriate speed limit in urban areas it is definitively an alternative to the monster trucks. -

Driving one of these on roads with SUVs driving alongside would be terrifying.

If I lived in a city, and that city had efficient, functional public transport I probably wouldn't have a car to begin with.
