None of these would ever be as safe as a full size car. Multi lane highways like the interstates in the US or the Autobahn in Germany are not the places to be driving these cars. They are nice for city commutes in something like London..... but LA, Boston, Chicago, Houston.....would be too much of a risk with loops around the cities of 8 or more lanes of traffic moving at high speeds. That is why the US doesn't bother even trying to market these types of EVs.

Not to mention varying prices make them a pain to own as you still need to babysit them like phones. For eg i didn’t use my EV for a couple of weeks and come out to find the battery has discharged enough that if it was petrol, it would be classified as a *leak!* I can leave my petrol car for 6 months, disconnect the battery and connect it back up and it will start and still have a FULL fuel tank… Not to mention once the battery has dropped its performance on an EV the car is scrap, since it’s 2/3s the overall price of the car
