Funny and when I posted about us wanting an affordable EV after the Tesla roadster flying ridiculousness, everyone was like "bro you can buy a used Leaf any time". Meanwhile, this Seagull is EXACTLY what I was talking about.
They just brought out a NEW car for $10,000 and you want someone to pay for an old Leaf for the same amount with much slower charging?
Flash Charging, which lets the car charge from 10% to 70% in 5 minutes, according to BYD.
Also, the range on a used Leaf is like walking distance.
"Best we can do is an 80,000 USD gasoline truck with subscription radio."
320KM or 420KM range (~200 or ~260 miles) for $10K USD is incredible value.
Get rid of the driver assists and the massive screen and fix the front end and I’d like it.
Hey conservatives, thanks for making affordable cars illegal in the U.S.
