The price is right for 'a people's car"
This tiny car beat Tesla’s Model 3 as the best-selling EV in the world for January and February
China-based Wuling sold over 56,000 Hong Guang Mini EVs in the first two months of 2021
The Hong Guang Mini EV launched last summer and was a surprise success, but is still only sold in China. Some reports suggest that it may come to other markets eventually, but the US is likely low on the list.
The diminutive vehicle is made under a joint partnership between China’s state-owned SAIC Motor, Wuling Motors, and US carmaker General Motors, and is locally referred to simply as Wuling. The Hong Guang Mini EV sells in China only for 28,800 yuan, or about $4,500.
It claims to get 170 kilometers (roughly 106 miles) per charge, and can reach a top speed of 100 kilometers per hour or 62 miles per hour (so no drag racing in this thing).
Its specs include a wheelbase of 76.4 inches, and it is just under 115 inches long, 59 inches wide, and stands about 64 inches tall. Its total weight is about 1,466 pounds.
