Please, test new Fiat Grande Panda ;)

[@Narinjas]

At least for country side, we need the Hyundai Inster Cross , the AWD and better ground clearance for off road version of the same car, but that would mean basically no extra boot space aside from a sliver where you put just the charging accessories, because the back electric motor has to go somewhere. with 15%-30% better ground clearance, AWD wit an extra back motor that is active at low speed, up to 33 mph(53 km/h) for off-road control, then after that it disconnects the electronic clutch leaving the back free and engaging back at 31mph(50 km/h)... For winter and mud control ... Next gen should also include the in line 4 engine generator for an extended range EV (hybrid but the engine only creates electric power for winter and longer distances) , like Edison motors and the Scout Motors Traveler.

[@Narinjas]

P.S. Casper is the name , but because TradeMark they renamed it inster instead... I bet people would buy and re-sell Casper EV badge so you can rename it after you buy it.

[@houserhythm]

Why do they keep making FWD EV's?! I get it in ICE cars - there's an added cost to have a drive shaft go to the back. But for an EV, the cost is virtually the same - just put the motor at the back and move some trunk space to the front.

[@wilbeugre]

I think that it won't guarantee a big enough trunk space in the front for small cars after defining the areas supposed to "absorb" the kinetic energy in case of a frontal crash I might be wrong though 🤔🤷‍♂️
