Even looking at new release EVs for the next year, there’s nothing suitably ‘low’ powered. It seems the trend is for huge batteries to power massive motors. The problem that’s currently being addressed is towing, several cars are now rear/4 wheel drive so that they can pull caravans/trailers. I’m not sure the manufacturers have recognised a need for something not stupidly small but also not properly rapid. Astra sized with 100ish BHP in electric form will have enough pull to get around town and up to reasonable motorway speeds without being a problem but doesn’t yet seem to have a big enough demand recognised…
