The ev1 had a 100 mile range only achieved by driving as slow as possible, 2 seats, 3 hour charge time to 80% battery and it looked awful then and still looks awful today. All for $35k in 1997. If you wanted a 2 seat city car you could have bought a BMW Z3, Porsche Boxter or a Honda S2000 for roughly the same price.

It was a shitty car by any means, electric or gas. It hurt public perception on electric cars more than it ever helped.

Today, the new f150 lightning can be equipped with a 240v outlet in the bed capable of adding 20 miles of range per hour to the electric mustang ford says. It’s not perfect but it beats towing. I suspect once electrics become more common, dedicated “supercharger” trucks will become a thing.
