Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Finally these guys are getting a new ride.

That’s actually a car-priced car. Wow. Hopefully we see more like this one.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It's a Kei car, meaning it's not coming to the US. That's the price in Japan, converted to USD.

183 mile range — not too bad. I didn’t see anything about charging speed. Did I miss it?

Yeah and 18k isn't too bad considering prices these days.

Would love to see a sub 10k competition to the BYD we can't get in the US, that isn't a Chinese company, but that's doubtful.

Yeah the N series is kei and only available in the East Asian market

Dang, so I'll have to wait till 2050 to import one

FFS bring this shit to the U.S !

They won't because republicans will call ICE on their citizens.

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

You're just saying that because it's true.

[–] nothingcorporate@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Hopefully, in 2028 someone will put an end to tariff madness and we can get these in the US. A no-nonsense electric car that isn't 50k is the dream.

I want it so bad

This what we need - not everyone needs a massive van with 400 mile range*. To and fro from work or shopping, taking my leg disabled wife around.

All we need now is somewhere to charge it.

*Edit From the article: 'Although it may not seem like much with most EVs offering over 300 miles of range nowadays, it’s perfect for daily commutes in Japan.' That's exactly my point, it's perfect for daily commutes in UK as well! Easy to nip around town, easy to park.
