    I mean, I don’t want it to look different. I want a regular sedan or small vehicle like a Honda Fit (which is what I have now and it’s a good size). I just want it to be an EV. So maybe there’s a market for the weird looking cars and have massive SUVs but that’s not what I want. I wouldn’t be caught dead in a cyber truck or this 80s TV show sentient vehicle looking thing.

    That’s my 2 cents but I don’t think I’m the only one.

      Small vehicles are no longer “normal,” EV or not.

      Honda discontinued the Fit for a reason. Same with Toyota and the Yaris. Ford has basically pulled out of the entire non-truck/SUV market.

      There are plenty of “normal” EVs because “normal” these days is a midsize crossover SUV. The Chevy Bolt is the closest thing you’re looking for.
