I expect to see considerable numbers first in large cities when price drops a lot. People who mostly use them to go to work, shopping, or occasional visit to nearby doctors, family, friends, etc. will start buying them as second cars.
Electric city cars won’t need the 200-plus mile range or performance of primary vehicles like a Tesla. I recently saw pictures of compact cars in China that compared to cars like scooters compare to motorcycles — OK in cities, not so much on interstate highways.
Charging from grid should be OK as long as it’s done at night in summer when A/C loads are much lower. It may even help keep electric power plants loaded more evenly to increase efficiency.
