Renault 5, soon Twingo and VW ID.Polo. Hyundai Inster ... at least in Europe. I guess in the US they'd rather sell you some oversized childcrusher instead of giving customers reasonably oriced compact options.

Yup, pretty much. Those were the only three "small" versions, everything else was giant SUV sized.

That's dire. In Europe a lot of new compact EVs have been coming on the market in 2025 and 2026. Manufacturer's finally got the message. They even started to bring prices down with no nonsense offers. I just had a look, not even VW wants to sell its new ID.Polo in the US. You know, finally VW is building good cars with good interior again, after having gotten rid of the remaining traces of the "copy all the Tesla nonsense" disease and then they don't even attempt to sell them in the US.

Also no Hyundai Ioniq 3, no Opel Corsa Electric (or other Stellantis variants), Cupra Raval, Mini Cooper SE, or some of the Chinese offers (BYD Dolphin, Firefly Firefly, Dongfeng Box etc)? But there is the Fiat 500e on the market, isn't it?
