They are either glorified golf cart city cars like this one or they are only for the very wealthy like the Tesla. Today we could be using lead-acid EVs, lead-carbon-acid EVs, or nickel metal hydride or lithium-ion hybrids. Glad to see the variety & availability of electic commuter cars (vs hybrids & PHEV) is rising.

Lutz, who retired earlier this year, called the car Detroits "moon shot" and an attempt to wrest the mantle of innovation back from the Japanese. It also offers eight hybrid models. Volt like hybrids are the intermediate future between hydrogen or fast charging electric cars. Thats short-sighted.
