Modern Micro Cars: Carice; Electric Sports Car?

I came across a New Atlas article on the Carice electric sports car. New Atlas - Carice.

I found their website; Carice Cars. Actually, there was a link to it in the New Atlas article.

I think this is a really cool looking car. It reminds me of sports cars of years ago. It would be neat if this was adapted and sold as other vehicles (perhaps as a Crosley Hotshot? - it would be cool and retro looking and bring back an old automobile company - even it if it just for the one model temporarily ).

While I think it is a really cool looking car, I think it might have a problem being an electric vehicle. I have read of a lot of electric vehicles not being sold. Whey they say that electric vehicles are the future, I am not sure there is enough of a market to make them worthwhile. Perhaps the reason so many companies are pushing electric vehicles might be a mandate for them to do so? I have read of a lot of people not wanting an electric vehicle because of the cost to buy one and/or the cost to replace the batteries.

I think - as an alternative to it being an electric vehicle - an option would be either a hybrid vehicle, gas (ICE) powered vehicle or as a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle.

I think a hybrid vehicle could extend the range of it plus extend the appeal. I have read of small cars being a hybrid vehicle. It could have a small battery pack with the gas engine only running a generator or a small battery pack with a gas engine taking over when the battery is low or higher speeds are needed.

I think a gas powered option would be great. I think a small but powerful gas engine would be great for this small sports car. It would put the sports back into the sports car. I have seen small gas engines that have a really good range and MPG. It would also give that sports car sound to it too.

I think a hydrogen fuel cell would make even more sense than a battery electric vehicle. The hydrogen could be refilled in about the same time a gas powered is refueled. I think it could give a longer range than a battery vehicle plus reduce range anxiety. It would be greener than battery electric vehicles since it wouldn't have a big battery pack to replace and the emissions would be water vapor / water (with some indicating that water vapor is a green house gas but - IMO - am not so sure about that).

There are videos of the Carice on YouTube.

caution: there might be some content that comes up that

might not be very good to see.
