The greatest use is in urban areas, at low speeds, for short distances.

When I lived in the city, I used my car for very short trips and very low speeds. About 90% of my car time was spent performing tasks that an electric car could do well.

But about 10% of the time, I wanted to leave the city and travel a significant distance at a significant speed. I would absolutely need a car that could perform both roles.

I can electric taxis. I do not see electric family cars.

I think the one-vehicle household might now be the minority. The most used household vehicle is likely the go-getter with another vehicle for other purposes.

Maybe USPS/UPS/FEDEX and the like. There are an amazing number of such vehicles in NYC and probably most urban areas.
