An electric Pick Up from 1750 euros? China sells it, and here’s how it works
There is a $ 2000 electric Pick Up as a base price, complete with a tipper, does it exist? And above all, how does it work, and what is its real final cost? In short, is it an illusion or is it a product that can truly enter Western markets and gain a share of the market?
The first question, if this Pick Up really exists, has a simple answer, and you can see it on Alibaba at this link : yes, it exists, it even has four-wheel drive, it is produced by Chang Li and is called "Explorer". A name that is a Ford copyright theft that produces a very different Explorer …
It sounds like a strange offer: such a low price? But is it real or is it a toy? And how functional is it? Can it run on the street? Someone in the US has bothered to buy it and write a review, which we will offer you at the end. An electric car is much simpler than an internal combustion one, it has a third of the components. Hence the risk of falling into the price trap of competition.
Here it is, in front of the one who bought it:
Transportation was tough and the machine arrived in a damaged but intact metal package.
The vehicle is true: 100 km range with extra batteries, even air conditioning, seat belts, and the tipper
The problem is that the hydraulic system is not particularly powerful.
Cost effective?
2000 dollars of base + 1000 dollars of accessories + 3300 dollars between duty and shipping: total 6300 dollars, just over 5500 euros.
The Pluses:
- the price, less than a golf car, but this is a real small car, albeit a limited one;
- equipped, with air conditioner and electric windows;
- real 4-wheel drive and tipper body
The Minus:
- Rough assembly, with poorly made welds and peeling paint;
- shock absorbers almost nothing as effective;
- it is not a real car
In short, almost more of a champion, an example, rather than a real car
Can you enroll?
In the USA No. In Europe, perhaps as a minicar.
