> It is hard to imagine wanting 3 electric cars

It's no more difficult than wanting 3 internal combustion engine cars - one for husband, one for wife, one for driving age children.



Or the weekend sportscar/roadster, or the "classic" car (though I wonder if any modern electric will ever achieve classic/collectable status).


As Jay Leno happily points out, some of the oldest and coolest "classic" cars are turn of the last century electric cars. [1]

Whether a current electric car may ever turn heads or have gearhead fans a century from now, you never know, retro fashions are inscrutable from this distance.

EV West seems to be doing a good job of building up a catalog of conversion kits. Model S running gear in a tri-5 Chevy won't be as efficient as the original package, but it is good enough (except for that V8 rumble)
