At the beginning of 2020, when we did not yet know how everything would change, we counted the story of our colleagues in Jalopnik who brought the cheapest electric car in the world Alibaba. Now it possible cheapest EV pick-up.
Really, what we see is closer to a van for utility use because of its dimensions: 30 cm wheels, a narrow cabin for two people and a load capacity of 500 kg with a box or cargo box 1.6 meters long.
In any case, it is still a fully functional truck. The cab has all the basic accessories you would expect, such as a radio, air vents (air conditioning costs extra), windshield wipers, adjustable seats and three-point seat belts. Also TIt has a more than decent range (for the price) of 120 km due to its 72V 7.2 kWh battery pack.
Since Electrek contacted the car company, who provided them with a specification sheet detailed. The simplest version costs $ 3,950And the top model with a four-seater cab and upgrades such as power steering, electric locks / windows and even a child lock went to $ 4,880. To the amount we have to add the shipping costs, which can vary (and very) depending on the country.

In addition, it must be taken into account that it has a maximum speed of so only 40 km/h, so it’s not a car to drive on a highway.
That said, even when you add up the cost and the downside, it’s still more than attractively priced for an electric pickup truck that can pass as a glorified golf cart too. [Alibaba via Electrek]
