come on, just get a used nissan leaf. about same price as your honda fit. cheap, an actual car, lowish range, but very usable.

You can leave the AC running while you're in a store. You can charge at home on 110v. not that much to maintain. no smog, no oil changes, 125k coolant changes.

you're a well-paid engineer, buy it as an experiment and have some fun with it.
