While I dont live in a big city, pretty much every family I know has at the very least 2 cars. Even people with virtually no money.

G-wizz escapes stern crash testing not by being electric but by weighing less than a certain amount IIRC. Cant remember what the figure is.

EDIT: looked it up, they claim 665kg's? hmmmm thats more than the break point I was thinking. More research needed.
