These things had around 25kWh battery packs with 140 miles of range.
I think 200 miles is on the low end of what they could achieve with LFP chemistry.
I really wish a car manufacturer would bring back the EV1 form factor with modern EV batteries.

Despite being a two seater the EV1 is not that small, it's a fraction longer than the Chevy Bolt. I can't see any reason the EV1 form factor would sell today.
Or the first-gen Honda Insight.
Take a look at those, and the Citroën CX from 25 years earlier. The CX is what a four-door Insight would have looked like.
For me, it's the faired-in rear wheels and narrower track that does it. Instantly futuristic.
It's difficult enough for automakers to sell standard sedans these days, never mind an electric one ($$$) designed around efficiency above all else.
The average gas price today in Texas is $2.60. It is not really economically rational for someone to pay a premium for an efficiency-focused EV without some other benefit.
I think the closest to what you're asking for is the Model 3, or Ioniq 6: appliance sedans built around efficiency.
They don't sell as well as their SUV cousins.
