Why does every car manufacturer peddle these overly complex designs with massive displays, a futuristic aesthetic, etc?
People drive Corollas because they're cheap and reliable. Give me that with an electric motor.

  That's what the market expects from an EV

    This is what the market is being told to expect from an EV.
    The Dacia Spring is what the market actually seems to want:

    It's a car, not an Autobot.

    The entry level model doesn’t even have an infotainment panel, it has a shelf you can place your phone on and use an app if you wish.

    That sounds exactly like how an entry model should be?

    Most cars have at least a radio
