I would love to get myself an electric car someday, but I can't get over that my favorite car form factor is all but extinct in the US. The only new subcompact sedans you can buy seem to be the Nissan Versa and the Kia Rio, neither of which is an EV.

Why do nearly all EVs seem to be crossover SUVs?

What about the Nissan Leaf?

Technically a compact, not a subcompact, and it's a hatchback besides. Definitely closer to the mark than all the crossover SUVs, though.

You may feel like I'm splitting hairs, but my wife's 2017 Honda Civic feels massive and unwieldy when I'm used to my nimble little "yes, I can park it there" Ford Fiesta.
