Important research. It seems to me that bigger, heavier, high powered EVs are an unsustainable path. Smaller, efficient, back and forth to work or the grocery store vehicles aren’t even available.

The Chevy Bolt was good value for what it was. A new model Bolt on the Ultium platform is supposed to be released in 2025.

Europe has a number of small car EV options available. Renault Zoe, Peugeot e-208, Fiat 500e, VW ID.3, etc.

The Citroën Ami goes fast because it has flames on the side: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/weird/ha-check-out-citroens...

And the Ami strikes fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere: https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/citroen-ami-now-po...

They are important baby steps towards a more sustainable future. Although it is hard to not let perfect be the enemy of better.
