Remember the Isetta by BMW?

Here is the electric version. Not by BMW. This is the Microlina. The bubble car comes in 2 + versions.
One had the speed capped at 49 kph (30 mph) and doesn't need a full license. Up 100 kilometer, 60 mile, range
The other can go faster and can reach near 100 k[h, 60, and has a couple of hundred kilometer range.
A 2 seater with a fair amount of storage. Meant to zip around town for errands and the like. The front opens like the Isetta for driver and passenger access.
I could probably park 2 in my garage space

More info than you needed here on Wikipedia.
