How many trips are done alone? And yet people don't buy single-seater cars. People also don't draw boat or horse trailers most of the time, yet they buy cars as if that was all they ever did. The reality is that car purchases have been driven by very rare usage scenarios, often even by completely hypothetical usage scenarios ("what if I'd have to compete on Nürburgring?“) long before the topic of BEV came up.
The only way I see to change that pattern, outside of getting rid of cars completely, is a full switch from ownership (or "ownership" aka leasing) to fine-grained rental.

I've long wished for a very small single seater car, something under 1000lb, only needs a tiny engine so it could have very high MPG and yet still be very fun.
