You can't crash this into another vehicle at 60kph and walk away nearly unscathed so it's just not suitable for roads in the civilized world.
Also I need a theoretical range of at least 600km between charges because what if I suddenly have to do that under time pressure? This not being a thing that has ever happened to me doesn't mean it won't ever happen to me
And lastly, how am I supposed to put enough groceries (that I get alone) for a family of three for 2 weeks in there? I have never learned how to pack anything and so my only option is to lay it all flat out on the ground and never stack anything
Yes, I know Beijing has a lottery for new license plates, and Shanghai has an auction. Other cities use a combination of the two methods from what I've heard, so that less well-off people have a chance while also allowing them to raise some significant revenue from the wealthy. These restrictions on new license plates allow the cities to manage congestion and keep air pollution low. Also, there are separate quotas for hybrids/electric cars which give better lottery odds.
I don't know, my point was more that 75 mile range is fine for large swaths ofs people. Size of the country has little correlation with distance of trips taken, that's mostly a planning thing.
In Denmark the cheapest new electric car is a Dacia Spring Electric starting at USD 20.500. This is advertised as "making electric cars available to everyone". If you can stand the injustice of driving a pre-owned car you can be lucky to find a 2015 Renault Zoe for USD 9.200.
buying an electric car used sounds like a terrible decision, the battery will fry out and youll need to pay basically the price of the whole car to get a new battery
Wish we had them here. Would have been perfect for my partner who needed a car just for getting to and from work and stuff, instead she’s stuck with this lemon her family helped her get lol. ( we have no trains here )
The extended capacity model is 110 miles, which isn't bad for city driving. Chinese consumers seem to like the car overall, given that it's the best selling electric car in China right now.

:sicko-wistful:
75 mile range in such a large country is absurd
great if you wanna just get around beijing but why not just be train gang at that point
Why? People have a time budget for travel, not a distance budget.
yeah but does china really have such extensive battery swapping stuff that you can stop by and do it like a fill up

Is it a deliberate strategy to have people go by train and disincentivice car traffic? If so it is based.

idk. it also degrades a lot
What?
Electric car battery life degrades pretty quickly, esp in hot conditions.
I thought it degrades a lot more in colder climate. So, extreme climate degradation then.

How? Why does a french car become $11,800 cheaper when they ship it to china?

We live in the goddamn future. Or at least, some Chinese people do.
God damn it.
Cars bad though, even if electric
I was just going to say "EVs are real if they're golf cart sized"
oh my god the cabrio version is fucking adorable
and it's going to be called the Froggy in europe!
They look really cute. I wouldn't want to put three children on the backseat of that thing though.
