An electric car is completely inappropriate for that use.

Just the same as a Miata is inappropriate for a family of 6, or a smart car is inappropriate for guy who has to haul lumber, or a minivan is inappropriate for a single guy in his 20's.

Yet all of those cars sell enough to carve out markets for themselves.

But all of those cars would make the same journey without any problems - you are confusing carrying capacity with the fundamental utility of the things we call cars.
