Probably because they have more interest in badging their ‘elite folks wagon’ the Bugatti than any ‘peoples wagon’ for the proletariat!

That is an adorable car! I usually ignore car aesthetics (because I consider them ALL ugly). I just need transport. But that one charms, except for the bling.
An EV has been a great choice for us since 2012. M’spouse drives it – an ugly Mitsubishi MiEV (nicknamed Joules). The single-charge range covers most of the Portland (OR) metro; it helps that Portland has an Urban Growth Boundary.
It also helped that our second car used gas and so could go longer distances, out here in the wide open west. Nonetheless, it was a hybrid – a 2002 Prius (nicknamed Meme).
Alas, I crashed it in 2016, although I’d been hoping it would last until we could get an EV with a longer range. We bought a used Prius-C, only intended for the interval to that next EV. So its nickname is Corky.

All your comment tells me is it’s going to take many more long, long years before I successfully drive the Stupid Prius into the ground.
I now have a major sad.
