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.
I’m sure it will meet all of the strict safety requirements of other countries…
Mexico makes some pretty good cars man.
Like, none of their own…but there’s a lot of auto assembly in Mexico, and for some brands those plants are preferable because of their track record.
Same with Canada, the Civic and Rav4, plus several garbage Detroit models.
The reason is simple, automakers can’t afford US healthcare. US healthcare is the entire reason why manufacturing has been leaving the US over 30 years.
Sure, but what about this ultra cheap EV that’s like half the price or less of the next cheapest EV on the market elsewhere?
You know where had some of the world’s highest vehicle safety standards? France.
You know what you see everywhere in France?
The Citroen Ami is not a car, it’s legally a quadricycle, and thus exempt from safety laws for proper vehicles.
You can buy these covered Rascal scooters cheap, it doesn’t make them cars.
Wait, do you actually see the Ami everywhere in France? That’s brilliant if true.
The sold barely 8,000 a year for all of France.
