In a situation where commuters are incentivised to drive electric cars this could do quite well, but it's passenger limitations really limit the market. You can't drop off the kids at school on your way to/from work. Making a two seater version might really increase it's market share. In Oslo fuel cars are expensive to drive into the city, but you can park an & charge an electic car cheaply or free, without paying tolls. Some people buy old & tiny first generation electric cars to travel in and out of the centre. So this would potentially have a market in Oslo as it looks much nicer than a Buddy car! And yes, lazy click-bait headline writers: if it's electric then it's competing with Tesla. When competition requires more equivalence than both companies produce products with wheels and electric motors.
