I would prefer public transport, but if I have to get a car.

I would want a station wagon that sits a normal height off the ground, not an SUV. I would like a volt style hybrid, saves a ton on battery weight and covers more than 95% of my driving on a single electric charge, while still allowing for longer drives without the extended wait times at charging stations.

The EV was the best thing for the automative industry to try to stay relevant while also claiming to do something for the climate.

Public transportation should be the goal imo, as far as possible, you won't be able to cater to all use cases, but then ride share or rental is preferable
