I think the problem is, as soon as some (domestic in the case of US because of the recent tariff) automaker makes a cheap electric small car that's got room for 4 and 60-150 miles in range is gonna realize holy shit that's 90% of the driving out there and will drastically undercut the premium market. tens of millions only drive a few dozen miles away from home for most of their activity.

I dunno. Even growing up, American cars were always bigger than European cars. In fact I'd argue the cars from the rest of the world grew to try and fit the sensibilities of America as that's a huge market

Aren't you describing the Bolt?

Which they discontinued, and now the "smallest" offering they have is an electric Blazer. Although I guess you can argue the Blazer is a compact SUV. I think only the Nissan Leaf is left on the compact car category.
