One common complaint is that EVs are too expensive but at this price, at least one third of the cars sold in Australia are more expensive.

Thanks for another great EV reveiw Chris. A good car, but let down by not having adaptive cruise control. 500 kms real world driving range is impressive!

This is the perfect vehicle for an UBER or taxi Driver. Cheap to buy, cheap to operate, cheap to maintain, large enough to carry luggage and appears to have and interior that can have spills cleaned with a wet cloth. You could really get a jump on the completion.

Great video Chris. Looks like a very basic but capable EV built for a specific purpose as Taxi like you mentioned but also a value workhorse. Will be interesting to see the resale value given the very limited number of these bought into Oz.
