Plus they aren't driving at high speed between suburban and city houses, plus they aren't actually driving that far (probably 50-100 miles in suburbs, less than 50 in city) so they don't need a huge battery.
They don't need 0-60 in 4 seconds, so a single axle motor is probably all you need.
You don't need NMC chemistry for the range, you can just use LFP or sodium ion when it reaches mass production later this year hopefully.
You can even use a range extender ICE for the rural models like the BMW i3.
