The old Chevy Sparks are basically golf carts with 4 doors and permission to drive in the roads. They are the least “techy” EVs I’ve seen in person as they are really just a battery swap with the minimally-appointed ICE version of the car, which is very sparse on the electronic doodads.

I bought a used Chevy Spark from a dealer for 8.5k (6k with the Oregon refund) 2 years ago and have barely touched gas or oil since. It’s not out of reach.
