Neta vehicule are used for uber taxi here in Abidjan-Côte d'ivoire. Yet, a yango / uber taxi runs up to 250 km a day with AC turned on in urban conditions.
This car is very reliable

This video is poorly editted... quite strenuous to follow

While European car companies are hesitating on what to do to catch up, Chinese cars simply go to every corner in the world. 😉

Love the pronunciation of the 'R' at 2:30. Reminds me of having lived in an English-speaking country for so long, my English mouth now struggles to pronounce such a beautiful 'R'.

So once you travel 350km to upcountry, do you carry the car back to town. The question of charging infrastructure has not been fully answered even in developed countries.

How can I get this car to Cameroon? Can/will you ship or must I fly to Kenya to place order and ship once?

[Josemislredo]

To prove their words.. Can they a do distance challenge? Drive from Nairobi to Kisumu on a single charge!!

Nice video but the editing..you keep cutting people in the middle of a conversation

[moses]

Good information but the video is very poorly edited

4 million is just out of our reach..I wish they had a 1 million car

[tonystorcke]

1 million Kenyan shillings is about 8, 000 US dollars. I hope that's really the price.

In America electric cars aren't doing well in extreme temperatures
Like freezing
They might be good for nairobi
If u can find charging stations
Plus cost of charging and time wasted while waiting

[ipetert]

Hybrid would be best due to few charging stations

[mouricewekesamunoko]

It's simple, Kenyans love trends and luxury minding good economy so people may afford

[amaizingworld]

Electric car is Good but .. hybrid is better and effective..they are cheap and people like them ..i love hybrid

[zhra]

The editing/ production is really bad, otherwise nice product

[magellanmax]

Kenya needs to stabilize electric generation first, then build out charging stations before there's a true EV rush for the general public use.

[davidkoigi]

Interesting...We have electric cars but not enough power.🤔

[edwinsiala]

Ksh 4 million is way too much for that vehicle. The Chinese sell them cheap. That is their value proposition. The Kenya government needs to provide tax incentives for such Ev vehicles.

Trump said Chjna had the components to make electric cars as they have no oil meaning China will have the best electric cars
