> For your use case, the Citroen Ami is comfortably sub 10k.

That car is not suitable for my use-case. Any situation where I would use that car is one where I would use my e-bike instead. I basically use my car for those occasions where I just need to transport a bit more than I can take on my bike. It doesn’t have to be huge, but that Ami is just not enough.

Tangential, but does your use case rule out taxi service or a car-share plan? Way more expensive per use, but you might still come out ahead.

I just use a trailer[1], I find it bonkers that one would use a car only for urban transportation. If I wasn't going regularly in remote area with my partners and my kids, I wouldn't even own a car.

[1] I like cargo bikes but storage can be a challenge compared to a trailer you can fold and remove the wheels when not in use.
