I honestly thought both the Leaf and 500e were no longer on sale in the US, since I don't see new ones in the Bay Area, and they used to be everywhere. That's my bad.

The Bolt is also a great example, although it's pretty quick. In fact, a quick chatgpt search says both the Bolt and Leaf SV are over 200hp, so not a lot less than my 258hp Model 3 that's undoubtedly heavier.

The Kona EV completely slipped my mind; my sister has the hybrid version though. Although, the EV is a >$30k crossover but they _do_ sell a 138hp version so it's hardly a muscle car. There are no small cheap Hyundai EVs in the US.

Something like the Honda E is something I'd love to see in the US, although it's definitely a premium-priced product for a small car.
