In general younger people want smaller cars, older people want roomer cars etc. So the individual isn't fixed, but you have defined market segments.

As said there is nothing to prohibit large electric vehicles.

Electric cars tend not to only be in the economy niche, but also in the "environmentally conscious" niche.

Actually they tend to be in the non-existent niche right now. Is there a "quiet" niche? Is there a "low maintenance" niche? Is there a "never have to stop at the gas station" niche? Won't find out until there is product available.

Higher performance cars would have a higher cost per mile (and also a higher unit cost)

They would have higher cost per mile (which would still be well below gasoline) but I'm not sure they have higher unit cost. It might just be the way they are tuned (I don't really know).
