My observation is this. I live in the mid-Atlantic USA in the mountains of Virginia and West Virginia. People from Washington DC drive out here on weekends to drive the back country roads. EV are great for at home fueling and around town errand running.

With barely 200 miles of range, which is the round trip just to get from DC to the sticks, where the roads are great, you'll have to charge up once or twice ripping around the mountains out where I live. I know the Hyundais are fast at recharging, but sustained elevated hooning for hours as one will want to do, recharging just eats up the meat of the daylight hours you can drive the 5N in. I moved out here 20+ years ago for the reason to be in the mix of the playground rather than spend hours driving out and back.

Most US cities don't have great roads near them or racetracks for that matter to drive on. The 5N doesn't have enough range to get to the good roads to drive on, race around for a few hours and then get back home. An ICEV sports car just needs 5 minutes to refuel. I honestly do not see the point of this car.
