> Alas, the market didn't think of it the same way. The i3 might not be a looker

...from an American perspective. The i3 doesn't sell much in the US, but is I think the second highest selling EV in Europe at the moment, people here apparently don't have any problem with the way it looks.

In Copenhagen it's the only DriveNow car available, and I must admit that although I am a petrolhead, the i3 grew on me.

What might look silly from the outside is an unparalleled experience in accelleration on the inside. Only Tesla's, motorcycles and proper sport cars can match the 0-50 km/h (which is everything you care about in a city commute).

Quite sure e-Golf, Leaf, the electric Kia all a good match.

It's also super comfortable inside, compared to the Leaf or the Bolt.
