They had the styling of a Beluga Whale

Subjective but yea, I don't like the look of them either. Leaf either, for a more modern example

a maximum speed of 80MPH

Who cares?

maximum range of as little as 50 miles

Real problem

a recharge time of 8 hours!

I charge my 2022 EV on level 1 so I take up ~3mi/hr and it's not a problem. Given how much larger my modern EV battery is, it would take far longer to fully charge at home than the EV1 but it doesn't really matter as my day-to-day driving isn't that far, which describes the case for most people.
