Yeah, I know about these. But these are intracity delivery vehicles. The restrictions in their domain of use make the problem simpler. My university has a couple and all they do is transport stuff between the two campuses. I think, although the average commute is probably way lower than a 80km, people would still be reluctant to buy it. For example the Mitsubishi i-MiEV has been around since 2009, is the least expensive amongst EVs (besides Chinese EVs probably) and has a range of 100km to 160km (depending on different metrics) and that didn't sell very well. Only 38.000 units sold.
