The suburb where I live is closer to rural than urban, but I could totally see getting one of these for commuting and errands around town.
Just give me an upgraded $10K version that can do 50 mph instead of 50 km/h, because once I get to the end of my street I'm turning into traffic comprised of F-150s and Escalades already going faster than that (illegally).
Yeah I think the range and top speed need to be upped a little bit. 77miles is more like 50 if you don't want to charge to 100 or leave it to 0 every time you drive. 50mph is probably closer to a real city speed yeah it prolly doesn't need to go that fast 80% of the time but sometimes you need to be able to go faster or else you can only travel around on very limited roads.
If it were faster, it would be classified as a different vehicle and be subject to safety requirements that would double or triple the price.
