This car is of course not build for europe or asia. Here are also almost no large pickups like Dodge Ram or the F150. A friend had for a short time such a car in switzerland. It was fun, but just to large for any public parking and such. But yeah the european companys don't even have small electric cars, so they just complain about everything.

I don't know where you got this idea. Renault makes the Twizy and the ZOE, both small electric cars. BMW makes the i3.

While the i3 is pretty much discontinued, BMW has more EV plans for the future. The Nissan leaf and Hyundai Ioniq also sell pretty well in Europe.
The automotive press is traditionally very biased against electric vehicles, which might have contributed to this article.

Untrue re. European electric cars.
The Renault Zoe is increasingly common here in the UK, the electric Fiat 500 has been around for a while now, VW have an extensive range, BMW have at least a couple I'm aware of. A significant number of the suggested cars in this list are made by European manufacturers
