The Cheapest Electric Car In The USA

With each passing year, electric vehicles are gaining more popularity and attention. After all, the problem of air pollution in the city is gradually being resolved as a result of their presence. However, the high cost of production does not allow the introduction of this new mode of transportation everywhere. Therefore, many automakers have staged a real race to reduce the price of an electric car. Along with such well-known brands as Nissan, Hyundai, and Tesla, little-known Chinese manufacturers Kandi and Dacia compete. The latter were able to achieve significant success, reducing the cost of an electric car to 10 thousand dollars! And today we will evaluate one of them to find out how much the price reduction has reflected on the performance of the car itself. Even though the first electric car was successfully tested in the middle of the 19th century, its growth in popularity has only recently begun. After all, earlier the production of cars with an internal combustion engine was much cheaper, and the characteristics of transport were much higher. But in 2008, Elon Musk held a presentation of his first electric car - the Tesla Roadster.

There are several million seniors and others on incomes of less than $20, 000 who would accept a ev similar to honda fit and/ or the leaf, who need acar like those but still need a driving rangeof at least 150 miles just to get to doctors, grocery stores becauseof their rural living areas!

4:24 why are they artificially lowering the speed to 25-35??? how about 45? Many roads are 45...

[michellehu]

This is a good competition for ev market. In addition, I would make a suggestion to introduce 2-door small evs with larger seats instead 4-door small sedans, this way could make a small ev more comfortable and even cheaper without losing quality and appearance.

You can go anywhere in my town at 45 mph or less. My scooter goes 30 & I'm very limited where I can ride it. Usually after midnight when traffic is thin. An electric car that can go 45 would be a great 2nd vehicle for me if they exist in the USA.

The world needs more lightweight and neighbourhood vehicles since 90% of the km we drive is generally around towns and cities not on the highway... So I whole-heartedly welcome any affordable lightweight peoples car, this one included! Elon and his 1% wagon can suck it!

[jimkelly]

Has to be able to do 45 just for around town. That would be fine for 3rd or 4th car.

I was on board with buying one until they said the top speed was artificially decreased to…what was it 40 mph or something? That’s useless! Why would they do that? It seems like the niche market is college students who want to drive between classes on a big campus. What if you want to use it to commute and…I don’t know, maybe save money on gas? It’s a big world out there and 40 mph won’t do.

lookin better every passing day gas prices rise 😂

[sdfft]

You guys conveniently forget that GM made a successful EV car and then deliberately recalled all and destyed them.

[phillipsmith]

Haha I live in DFW and everything is a highway here. Kandi’s dearship is all but abandon here, the cars are still there but the building was lock up by the city of Dallas

[jayjoiner]

35 mph won't work. Will be run over by somebody in an SUV who says, "What was that bump?"

[rRobertSmith]

Kandi America sells a pickup truck for $27k all the other info of this video is out of date also.

[RBickersjr]

I'm sorry but if it's not allowed on the highway, it ain't nothing but a glorified golf cart to me.

[zacharyknollman]

The new ford mavrick hybrid is what we all need but for 20 even

[barrywebber]

Restricting the speed to 35 mph for "safety considerations" is a deal breaker.

[MelloProto]

4:16 Proof that America does not want its citizens to actually buy something affordable.

[just.jose.youtube]

I think good and effective public transportation is the way to go. :)

The best thing about small electric cars is they lend themselves to battery exchange which I understand takes about 5 minutes. You don't need to go to a charging station and waste your time charging the battery. The downside of an EV is the time it takes to recharge the battery. To set up a battery exchange business for large EVs or large electric SUVs is costly because they have to have hundreds of these batteries in stock and kept fully charged.
At the cost of approximately $3, 000 to $10, 000 per battery for these large EVs, it is quite costly to set up a Battery exchange. However, the small battery from a small EV costs approximately $800 per battery. Because of its smaller size, it can be recharged much quicker and is more attractive to set up a small battery exchange than it is for the larger expensive EV batteries. Surely people would be more drawn to an EV that they can zip into a battery exchange and be on their way in a matter of minutes.

As soon as they said it was speed limited. Lost interest completely.

[turcoboshnak]

Considering you don't pay for gas and your insurance will be very cheap, this car can pay for itself in 5-6 years.
