Not as big a thing as you make it, according to the article the R1e is
just an electrified version of a "home market" microcar. >> Stay informed about: Subaru electric R1e |

I guess. Still, even in the home market that short range really
limits its appeal. In the US its competition would be meter-maid
Cushmans. >> Stay informed about: Subaru electric R1e |

Add meter readers, courier services, pizza delivery places with their
own vehicles, etc etc etc.

No, but we did attempt to stuff as many people as possible onto one
(we had the mini-flatbed) and still have it move under its own power?
I think we got up to 7. Wonder how much permanent damage that caused. >> Stay informed about: Subaru electric R1e |
