What’s the range would be my first concern my second will it burst into flames?
Looks like 150 mile range might be a city vehicle.

Kinda funny how so many people complain about the cost size and complexity of vehicles and long for the days of when they could get something cheap and small. Then something cheap, simple, and small comes along and one by one every charactoristic that made it cheap and small is offered as a reason why its not good enough.  I wouldn't want one either. But I think it is a great thing for the market. We've been on a decades long march making vehicles bigger, fancier, and more expensive. This is a push as far as they can go in the other direction. Also consider, electric vehicles require very little maintenace. I could see this being a big hit with people in their 20's wanting something cheap to acquire, own, and operate. Or even old retired folks who just want something to put around town.

Forgive me for thinking this, but reminds me of a souped up, street legal golf cart. But by all means, make it and offer it and see what happens.
But at the same time, don't limit the market. These guys don't need to reinvent the wheel. Just go back about 40 years to the small Japanese trucks from the 80's. Or the VW Rabbit pickup with diesel engine that got 50 mpg. Exact same trucks......no changes. In my mind, that is all a lot of guys (and girls) want...or need.
So if going to allow one, allow both. Let the market decide.

Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.

I think back to when the imports got 2-3 times the milage they get today but the Government got involved. Some V8s got what V6s are getting now it’s called progress. LOL
