It sounds like it could be great for a lot of US city dwellers as well. I have lived in Seattle for several years, and can count the number of >50mi trips I've taken with my personal car on zero hands.
There have been a few times I've been tempted to try to petition a Nissan dealer to try to import a Zoe to the US. Nissan America's short-sighted truck focus belies so much more interesting work going on in their siblings in the larger Nissan Group.
The Honda e at least has the excuse that the US has been the slowest to allow sideview cameras in its safety regulations, though Honda America similarly is short-sightedly focused almost solely on trucks in the US.
