For those who truly need larger capacity than a sedan (which includes me - I prefer station wagons, but don't see anything more than hatchbacks), the only alternative I see right now is a conversion or a Nissan eNV200. (See www.env200.com; it is shown in utility and people-mover versions.) It's not in production yet as far as I know. It's based on the Leaf platform so has the Leaf's range, which might not be enough for some. Hopefully all this talk of 200 mile range EVs will have an effect on specs prior to roll-out. Any others? All I can think of is commercial trucks made by low-volume manufacturers, which are made for industrial use - not families.
