@fuchsiii @benbloodworth If they can nail the D21 to be literally as #smol and #cute as your #Datsun1200 that would be awesome...
If not do these all as #KeiCars!

@threetails @douglasvb @GreenFire @fuchsiii @notjustbikes Sadly #VehicleTaxes and #Tolls are a #federal and not a #city level decision in #Germany....
Otherwise some Cities would try the same as one did with Bulldogs and tried to outlaw them with an absurd dog tax of €3.000 p.a. which OFC got canceled by courts as it was clear that it's an illegally high #paywall ...
But IDK how it's done in the #USA...
#Japan does incentivize #KeiCars tho with lower costs.

@notjustbikes actually, the narrowest standardized lanes in the world are in #Japan with alleys being normed at just a single lane in total with 1,4m width.
This is why #KeiCars didn't get wider than 1,48m: Because they might otherwise rip off their mirrorsdriving those narrow roads.

@AdrianVolt @forthy42 @SheDrivesMobility Ansonsten bin ich ein Fan von #KeiCars als Standard:
Ich finde #Deutschland sollte die #KfzSteuer nach #Totvolumen und #Leergewicht sowie #Abmessungen statt #Hubraum * #Emissionsklasse umsetzen, um den Trend der #SuperUselessVehicle aus den #USA zu stoppen...
@md @SheDrivesMobility Wenn, dann müßte das so sein wie mit den #KeiCars in #Japan, nur eben als #EAuto.
Maximal festgelegte Außenmaße, maximal festgelegte Motorisierung, dafür aber geringere Steuern und eigene kleinere Stellplätze mit geringeren Parkgebühren. Beim Geld kriegst du die Leute.
Und das dann nicht nur in pickepackevoll bebauten Stadtstaaten, die nicht expandieren können, sondern bundesweit.
If Europe and Japan can have small, cheap EVs, why can’t America? - Enlarge / This EV is called the Nissan Sakura, and it goes on sale in J... - https://arstechnica.com/?p=1856257 #electricvehicle #volkswagen #smallcars #keicars #nissan #cars
