There's a small EV made in China called the Seagull. 10k cost, 200 mile range. Amazing second car as a commuter, assuming you're not worried about snow, ice, etc. I could definitely see myself getting a second car as an EV if it was that inexpensive. Granted, it's chinese, so it's just as liable to burst into flames, but I'd still be interested to see how it faires in a few years
There's a reason China's BYD translates to "Burn Your Dick."
Built in china. Probably has reporting built in. I have looked at them but even then it seems useless other than a "errand" car. I know the USA wont let you build super low gas usage cars anymore because of stupid regs but a geo metro would get better mileage.

In some places, that would be a plus. Downtown major cities, or places where you don't commute far. It's not a primary vehicle, but great as a secondary.
Your absolutely right about the telemetry though. That said, it's not like everyone else isn't doing it, too.
In places like that, it costs more to park than to own the car you drive in. Or, at least that is what they are trying to do. [edit] I should also mention that most people cannot afford a "second vehicle" especially if it is not a old gas veh. Just a thought.
