Ironically, the second largest shareholder of the parent company of Wuling Bingo is GM, which holds 44% of Wuling Motors.

[breezekinght]

I have one Bingo back in China to pick up kids from school and go to groceries every day. Only 1 charge per week and the charging expense is about $30 per month, think about that🤣. There is no chance I switch back to ICE cars, period.

[Landez]

Even with the crazy high tariffs, this would still be a good deal for $16k to $20k

[temper]

The argument that these Chinese companies get unfair state subsidies is ridiculous. How many tens of billions did GM get in their last bailout? Rivian got $6.6bn just this month in "loans" that they likely won't need to pay back. Every time a new factory is built, the states compete in throwing billions at the automakers. That's not to mention the cushy military contracts the auto companies get on the side.

Americans cannot review a Chinese car without talking about the so-called government subsidy. Meanwhile, they are also spending a huge budget on subsidizing electric vehicles themselves. The fact is that every car maker can get this ‘government subsidy’ if they meet certain criteria, just like Tesla.

Thankfully, industry lobbying protects us from being able to buy these. I gladly pay 60k plus for an EV, if I can be sure that puts a meal on the table for a starving domestic CEO.

$8, 000 gets you a whole new EV in China. In most other developed countries, it buys you half of the battery pack.

[tophatfab]

It's like an updated Spark EV that costs as much as used Spark EV.

[ferfromla]

Cheapo cars like this one have their place. I can see where this car and others like them fit nicely in urban environments and for people looking for basic, affordable transportation.

[galihpa]

Finally this channel reviewed an EV that's actually within reach for people outside of the US

[PattyTheGeek]

That's a cute little buggy. I appreciate seeing different colors and style cues. Love hearing Alyssa's opinion on things. it is nice to get a different use case perspective.

[martinjoyce]

no more Chinese government incentives to the public. factories maybe get some grants, but Wuling is already an established company. The supply chain is main reason as everything is made in china with so many brands ordering parts.

[BenYee-gs]

I will buy 1 for $20, 000 right away. Come on Canada put 100 percent tariff and put some in dealership . It will fly off dealer lots . It is so practical for city and commute to work

[teardowndan]

"50kW isn't that slow." When I drive my mother's Bolt EV, I rarely go over 60kW and the Bolt is a ~40% heavier car. Most EVs have ridiculously over-spec'd motors for normal driving.

[nanoshka]

I know a few aunties have this car as an extra one to grab groceries and pick up their grandkids.

[kenastl]

Under 10k is perfect for an extra car for the city. Used Bolt EV or Nissan Leaf is the only decent choice right now in that price range in the US.

[mrrkrr]

Love having Alyssa be the main character in some of the videos. Great video!

[TOMKATPEDALS]

I visited china last year and this was one of the most popular cars I saw on the road.

[lyledal]

I sure do enjoy seeing all the cool stuff coming out of China that Americans can't buy.

[adamt]

Even if that was 20K in the US, that would be a great city car. Seems like all the american brands (or German or Japanese brands we have in the US) would rather build large luxury sedans and SUVs than build anything budget.
Even if you look at the Bolt, which was a great deal, the bolt had a 240-260mi range from a 60/66kwh battery. Its also a crossover size, and it was like 34K new (before incentives)
The old Model 3 Standard Range was $39K for 272mi.
The Leaf is 28K for the 150mi base model. And the leaf is "small" but its not really small like the old Spark EV. We really need a new Spark EV. Or the equivalent of an electric Mitsubishi Mirage. Cut out ALL the premium features. Cloth seats, lots of plastic. Smaller size. IDK if it could quite hit 20K, but surely 25K.
