The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.
The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.
But why?
It sounds like maybe a 25kWh battery? Why can’t it have a real top speed like every other actual car?
They skimped out on safety and crumple zones in order to make it lighter and cheaper, but that makes it extremely unsafe at high speeds.
Because then it would not cost $8500.
China has already solved that with better cars for the same price, but they are not being sold to us
China is not selling any car outside of China for $8500.
It’d likely fall apart at those speeds.
