That's my biggest complaint as someone driving a 14 year old Honda Fit, I just want a barebones hot hatch EV without all the fancy computer stuff, a car that's a car and not trying to be a spaceship with bells and whistles. And I know a lot of people with EVs, we have free charging stations at my workplace, but I barely drive (once a week in office, errands, live in country and get everything delivered) so why would I spend over 60k in Canadian dollars for shittier version of what I already have. I could lease but that's another monthly bill, I'm only paying like $120/mo to keep my current car on the road and that includes gas and insurance, I can maintain my car myself with incredibly cheap scrap parts as well. Also any EV I could afford, I'd have to rent utility vans to do half my errands with or keep a second vehicle, and like you say with the Mini EV the range isn't quite there. I wired my shop/garage with service for an EV charger so I'm ready for it, I just can't justify it with the current offerings.
