none of those chairs in that article is realistically a full-time use electric chair; they're more akin to 'adult scooters' than that. The purpose of most of the chairs in the article linked is to make ease of travel easier; that's why they mostly all fold.

Here's an example of a real full-time use electric chair. [0] It's front wheel drive, has standard attachment points for medical devices, a standardized controller interface that can be adapted to just about anyone, false bogey-arm suspension for stability sake, and all the certs.

It starts around 8k-ish out of pocket. I don't use electric chairs myself, so i'm unfamiliar with what insurance/medicare costs would be.

I pay ~2-4k out of pocket for a manual wheelchairs 20% co-pay through medicare, to give an example of the costs of things. Electric full-time use chairs are astronomically more expensive.
