Recently took a trip to Italy for two weeks - the difference in car and truck sizes were amazing as well as brands not available here. The smaller the car, the easier it was to get around and EV models were readily available with public charging spots scattered here and there. Saw a smattering of Chinese build EV's - the drivers?!? Wow....lets just say that the road rules seem to be merely suggestions, with scooters cutting EVERYONE off and lane splitting seemed to be the order of the day. Hope that Fathom does well in world markets, although in a place like Italy, it will be considered a larger vehicle.

PS: Soda and water bottle tops screw off/on just like ours, but by design, the cap does not separate from the bottle....just unscrew, flip to side, take a drink and screw the cap back on. Our guide stated, "How many bottle caps do you see laying around?"
