Honestly, I’d love a smart car sized EV. If I’m just running errands I don’t need my truck (it’s a Santa Cruz, not a gas guzzler).
And my wife has to commute 40 miles a day, which makes her jeep kinda impractical.

There are a bunch of them, depending on country. In the US we have the Chevy Spark.

Which is 1.5 times bigger than a common Smart, and is discontinued. Instead, GM is actually focusing on making electric… trucks 🥲

99% of the time that is all I need. However the cost of two vehicles is so high I end up with a large truck for that 1% of the time (every try to rent a truck to use as a truck? it isn't possible as there are so many restrictions)

??? I rented a pickup no issue from Home Depot. What restrictions did you see?

They are for hauling your home depot purchases home. Use them for anything else and it isn't allowed. Home depot won't care normally, but if anything goes wrong (might not be your fault) and lawyers will be going after you.
