I thought one of the new possibilities from EVs would be convertibles. The batteries and the platforms actually are more rigid.

The Hummer EV comes to mind with removable roof/t-tops made possible by the battery and surrounding construction. Maybe not, not sure.

Anyhoo, the one thing we won't see with EVs as promised will be a low price. Remember the sales pitch of no exhaust system (the roads would be littered with ICE mufflers having fallen off), no coolant system, no pesky spark plugs, etc., etc. that would all make EVs less costly to manufacture? Probably all cost savings somewhere if you keep it for ten years, just no savings on the MSRP....lol

The EV transition eerily parallels the push to build the windmill on Animal Farm. (Read it if you haven't yet, the similarities are uncanny in more ways than one.)
