There used to be kit EVs that were really cool, you could get them in unusual body styles and whatnot - there was one for sale here that looked like an old roadster that I almost considered.
Of course, these were old-school electrics with lead-acid powerplants, you got maybe 60 miles from a charge. Still...if I could get something with a 100 mile range for a cheap runabout (and I mean a couple thousand) I'd do it. That won't happen because every faggot out there can't live without AC and power locks and power windows and bluetooth and a vibrating cock in the seat so they can get shitdick while they drive, and a faglet on the dash because they can't tune the radio without pressing 50 buttons because a knob offends their sexuality or something.
Quite a few people in my neck of the woods use fancy golf carts to get around their local areas. I know one family in which the mother couldn't stop drinking and driving, so the husband bought her a golf cart and she goes around in their locality doing just about everything anyone would do with a car (sober). It's obviously embarrassing for her, but it works. It's actually not a bad idea and in the long run (very long run) it will save money.
I have often thought about a somewhat apocalyptic scenario (maybe just society breaking down) and what sort of vehicle I'd want to have). Honestly, I think the answer is a small, semi-off road electric vehicle. Electrics are simpler and have fewer moving parts and you can charge them with some solar panels. If anyone has any better ideas, I'm willing to listen.
But as an every day replacement for a gas vehicle? Haha hell no.
running on lithium batteries? like the ones in those hot new e-bikes? nah I think I'll pass not gonna charge one of them in MY garage...
Pretty sure the golf carts are lead-acid.
And really, while the lithium batteries are dangerous, there sure are a lot of them out there which aren't exploding. I mean, fair is fair. I'm not a fan and wouldn't want one, but there are a ton of them.
