The US market will buy small cars but US small is bigger than Asia small.

A Bolt or Nissan Leaf with NACS fast charge and a bit better looks will sell pretty well. The Tesla model 3 sells.

I agree. I just don't think we'll see cars like BYD is selling.

I'd love to see one of the typical 4-door 4-cylinder "economy" cars like the Sentra, Corolla, or Civic with an EV transmission.

That’s why I quoted $20k not $10k. The floor is higher in the US market. But people definitely will buy something like an improved Leaf or Bolt.
