The reason cars became so popular in rural areas is that they're the thing that allows people who live there to be connected with their neighbors. They divide densely populated areas and connect low population areas. The relationship cars have to people's lives is incredibly complex and putting forth solutions like this will alienate people from joining the movement. Advocating for walkable cities makes sense because rural communities aren't going to be atomized by regulations like that, and thus it becomes easier to implement.

There is a small city in Georgia, USA that does this. Tom Scott video on it

Needs AC & Heat & Doors/Windows. Weather is a thing that people need to deal with. Not everywhere is 70 and sunny every day.

Never change fuckcars, never change.

Every post on this forum is an S-tier masterclass in trolling, and I love it.

Already exists, Citroen Ami. It's a neat little idea. If you live in buildings, dozen apartments might have 3 vehicles always ready to go. Your key is your phone, as is your dashboard and the rest of the instrumentation. With range of 50 to 70km, it's good enough to run around the city for the day and get it charged over night. It's an interesting concept which people are not going to swallow because they need 6T coal rollers.

My state allows towns to decide if they'll allow golf carts to drive on roads. It's great for small towns with lots of older people.

Ew.

Sounds similar to a mobility scooter, but more practical for carrying much heavier loads.

I'd prefer a cargobike personally, but most of the ones I like are too heavy to move when you're not riding it, let alone with a 1/4 ton load. Those also can't fit into most apartments, you've got to leave them outside or in bicycle storage...

This kart/NEV thing kind of seems like a good compromise, with quadricycle vans possibly being an alternative option if you aren't carrying people

Just based on the picture, do you expect this to be used anywhere that gets a decent chance of snow in the winter?

This looks incredibly American. As far as small vehicles go this is still roughly the size of a small car, granted it probably weighs less(d safer), but storing it still requires a fair amount of dedicated parking. An E-bike or even better a pushbike seems like a more reasonable choice then.
