I've come the the conclusion that the only electric vehicle I'm likely to own is a custom conversion. I don't drive often, but when I do it's often a rental or car share. I've come to despise anti-privacy features that have become either standard or required on modern vehicles, from built-in connectivity to tpms, cars are getting to be worse than smartphones.

I'd absolutely kill for something like the K5 Blazer-E, but without the connectivity likely built into eCrate.

Same. I don't need a massive sedan or crossover, or massive range...I commute <10 miles per day, and have 7 family members within 15 miles. Most of my trips are just me, or just me and my son...why is the only electric coupe the Smart Car?

What I really want is an EV-swapped Mazda MX5...

Tesla Miata is something I want to try after I stop moving and buy a house
