    Have you seen the Renault Twizy? Top selling plug in electric vehicle in Europe in 2012, and it looks even more like a sci-fi concept car.

    Yes that's ridiculous too, the thing is kind of cute, but the price of that type of vehicle is insane.
    Here that's not called a car, but a cabin scooter. Like this:

    They are way to expensive, but can be driven legally under different laws than a real car, and that make them cheaper to have.
    IDK why that type of what isn't more than an E-Bike with a tiny cabin are so expensive? 10 years ago you could get an actual ICE car for that price, that could drive 130 km/h on Autobahn, and could take 4 passengers and drive 500 km on a tank.

    Do the math. With fuel savings and easy parking, it's a free car in 5 years. No, 10 years ago you could not buy an ICE car for €10,000.
