None of these would ever be as safe as a full size car. Multi lane highways like the interstates in the US or the Autobahn in Germany are not the places to be driving these cars. They are nice for city commutes in something like London..... but LA, Boston, Chicago, Houston.....would be too much of a risk with loops around the cities of 8 or more lanes of traffic moving at high speeds. That is why the US doesn't bother even trying to market these types of EVs.

The Chinese one is the best by far. 120km base model & top model for $5400 drivable to 170km and normal seating. No contest with the price either .

How long will it last ??

I have had a Prius for 10 years. I wouldn't trade it for an EV. My Prius has an 8.5 gallon gas tank and I can go 400 miles on a tank. I spend 5 minutes filling up and I can go another 400 miles. No waiting hours to recharge. No looking for a charging station. I can use the heater and A/C all the time, without reducing my distance per tank. I average 50 mpg all the time. The Prius also costs less than the average E/V. In the future E/V's may have their place, but right now Hybrids are the way to go!

Smaller EVs also probably do less damage to roads

Are any sold in the U.S,?

I think we have many small towns. Where people could get to and from home and grocery stores. I live on a PENINSULA. Also I'm 75 miles from a freeway for goodness sakes We don't all live around giant trucks. We just want to dip from one small location to another.

Big questions for the American buyer... 1 do you need a license to drive it? 2 is it street legal since these cars can't keep up with reg speeds of traffic? 3 are they insurable? 4 are they safe if you are involved in an accident with more typical vehicles? 5 would law enforcement mess with you all the time? 6 how hard is it to get hands on parts or have it worked on? and related 7 what does the routine maintenance look like? Really the videos I'm seeing they look like ramped up barbie cars that toddlers get for Christmas. And honestly I do wonder if we should focus instead on more infrastructure for these and also golf carts etc.

For city driving in Europe, no need for speed...very soon all capitals and big towns will reduce their speed inside the cities to 30km/h....even the Ami could get a speeding ticket.

VW's could make a niche for itself if it drives like an electrical go-kart. If so, I'd buy it, since making those electric go-kart dance (at the K1-Speed track) comes naturally.

VW Nils "Long before Tesla?" Tesla has been selling electric cars since 2008. VW showed this in 2011 and it wasn't even a production car. There is something wrong with your math

With the sun and the wind I will travel forever. . . since I consume electricity to travel, why not recover some of it using a mini or micro wind generator, with vertical axis, placed externally somewhere in the car and a system of solar panels? These systems will deliver energy. . forever. (I mean: a moving object, like a car, will create a vortex in the air, the wind. When it hits the wind turbine, it will generate electricity that will recharge the batteries).

Does driving at night with all the lights on, reduce the mileage.

How many miles does a battery pack last ? How much does a new battery pack cost ? Is this cost higher than the residual value of the vehicle ? I think this is the case - hence EV's are not economically viable, at present. Or am I wrong ?

There’s no such thing as “cheap EVs” . In comparison with each other that’s about it, against combustion engine vehicles, they are 4-5 times the price of and nothing but an inconvenience to find chargers. Not to mention varying prices make them a pain to own as you still need to babysit them like phones. For eg i didn’t use my EV for a couple of weeks and come out to find the battery has discharged enough that if it was petrol, it would be classified as a *leak!* I can leave my petrol car for 6 months, disconnect the battery and connect it back up and it will start and still have a FULL fuel tank… Not to mention once the battery has dropped its performance on an EV the car is scrap, since it’s 2/3s the overall price of the car
