Here is the 3700 euro Chinese car that can beat Tesla and the European ones

While it sounds like an unlikely opponent, SAIC-GM-Wuling's new 3,700-euro ($ 4460, 28,000,000 yuan) electric vehicle could end up being Tesla's real opponent and killer in China.

So he called this Nikkei car because the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV is quickly conquering the car. less than 3 meters long and 1.5 meters wide, it can carry only four people on board, but its car feature for short trips makes sure this is not a problem.

The price starts at 28,800 yuan, or about 4,460 dollars, 3700 euros. An air-conditioned model costs $ 5,000, just over 4,000 euros. With China's expansionary monetary policy, 13,000 yuan is enough to take it home and pay the rest at zero interest. An alternative for families who, until now, only used scooters for their movements.

The performance is suitable for city movement: it runs 120 km on a full charge, maximum speed 100 km / h not suitable for motorways, but excellent for the city environment. It can be recharged from a standard socket. "Consumers rate its low cost and design high marks." This is a victory for SAIC Motor, which holds a majority stake in SAIC-GM-Wuling. Electric cars from Western or other Chinese manufacturers cost a lot more and, in the end, they are still mainly used for the urban environment: so why not design a car perfectly suited to the urban environment?

The interiors are very spartan: a single video, for all the information to the driver, a few commands, use of low-cost plastics, but it takes you around and costs less than 4000 euros, you want more.
