I know nothing of this brand or about the safety in Chinese EVs, and to what level their built-in spying extends to, but the car is still US$12,899.00 + whatever costs are involved to get it to you. Assuming you can get service for these Chinese EVs in North America.
For sure, it's better than a $40,000 price tag if you don't drive much, but still too expensive, IMO. My current car's days are numbered, and I don't think I would get an EV, even at $13,000.
you might as well have said "I'll never buy a new car of any kind"
ev has nothing to do with your decision if youre that cost-concerned
Why not? You can purchase a used non-electric car for almost nothing. If someone needs a car and don't have tens of thousands to spend on it, an EV isn't even in the equation.
