Genuine question are cars this small really expected to resist a crash are there any small cars that have passed a test with good scores

@@MrCatLander1231 The Smart car by Mercedes-Benz seems to have consistent 4-Star crash test safety ratings. I don’t know if other smaller cars do as well in those tests.

@@MrCatLander1231 One guy with a Fiat 500 Abarth got T-boned by a pickup truck. The car held together even when it laid on its roof. The driver walked away with mostly bruises and cuts.

Good analysis. I would bet that this will never even be close to passing any IIHs tests. You will never even see specs that it contains aitrbags for all, Can see that may not have 5mile bumpers, not crash tested w crumple zones and break away steering, rollover. These cars are legally brought in due to LIMITED nos.and are exempt. Also there is a problem w repair and warranty if you are not close to dealer and have to wait for parts. All this adds cost and weight that reduces performance. I have a spark EV for my 17yr old and family. It did good in IIHS

If it's on a board design, it should be really safe, provided you hit something that weighs the same amount.... So don't hit anything larger head on than a gallon of milk

Except if you check their site it's only available as a "Neighborhood electric vehicle" and I believe those have a top speed of 25mph and can only be operated on roads with a speed limit or 35mph or lower. This will make the car not very practical for most people, as you won't be able to keep up with traffic in most places. $10k for an actual car would be great, but for a car that can only go 25mph? Not so much.

That's because the a/c is making so much noise, you can barely hear anything else.

@@Blueknight1960 the fact that the ac does that just shows how quiet everything else is.

@Spike Elwood still, most solar panels have a 25 year warranty on performance and will likely last 50, 75, even 100 years. For the energy and materials invested, solar is one of the best returns. Infinitely better than fossil fuels, but still not as sustainable as an agrarian society or hunter gatherers. But we have to be practical with what we have and where people are at. Solar solves a lot of problems. In my state, south Australia, we have at times had our grid, mainly rooftop solar, on 100% on renewables, but generally it's around 60%. A few countries have it up to 100%. It definitely CAN be done if the political and social will is there for change. Still, my comment was about rooftop solar on a single home. If a person gets their own panels, they can charge their own car up in the day time for free. It's pretty sweet when you think about it.

Right there with you.

is that's what I was thinking; if someone smarter than I buys a small solar system and hooks it up to their little car...!

@@meredithheath5272 unfortunately even a little car will require a lot of solar, but these days the prices are reasonable and there are often good subsidies to help

It's not GM-Wuling. It's Saic-GM-Wuling.

In in and on this continent? I don't think so

If you think about your big players they got to come way down to get into this market. they built from the top down these guys are building from the bottom up and they could still go even lower even more efficient. Why because they've spent years doing just that.. instead of making a vehicle that has a few hundred horsepower unneeded and a 500 Mile charge. The average American, look it up for yourself, commutes about 32 miles a day tops on average. that means I would buy one of these cars to have around because it's so freaking affordable and if I want to go any serious distance I will rent a car. And really this is just you know they're starter generation type of car. The ride sharing in this would be unbelievable in the cities cost a person $2 a mile or something maybe a dollar a mile

GM Wuling Will it be listed in the United States?

Okay, what is it?

Why would there be a tacho in an EV? With fixed ratio, the speedo tells the same story.

@@Tore_Lund Probably because it was cheaper just to hook up the tack to motor RPM sensor than to redesign a whole new gauge cluster for this car. The cost cutting is definitely very noticeable, even in this short video.

@@Tore_Lund It has nothing to with being an EV. Commuter Automatic ICE & BEVs simply do not require a Tach as you are not pushing the limits of performance. But any performance car including single gear EVs should have Tachometers as RPM SweetSpot still heavily dictates efficiency. But yeah in this case it's just using an ICE dashbord.

Id hold off on that, seen a few of these super cheap ev vehicles that would seem like they would destroy the smart car, and they do, until they just break all over all the time, might be great but im willing to bet it is crap, not that they have to be crap, you can certainly make a good cheap ev, but it seems like everyone skips the good part

@@coastaku1954 The problem with what you are saying is that in the 1970s small cars the size of the Chevy Spark only cost $3000 so that is more than 3 times the cost.

@@ericwitt4359 Arent you forgetting about inflation?

Sounds perfect for a college kid that needs to get around campus, or someone retired that now only puts in 3000 miles a year running errands.

@@davidmccarthy6061 Yep. And if it’s even moderately taken care of, with EVs having less moving parts, it (theoretically) should last 10 years or more as a high school - college campus - town runabout. EVs in general, but especially cheap EVs really have the opportunity to be very reusable (in terms of multiple owners over the lifetime of the car) vehicles with the normal downsides of being cheap (high maintenance/higher polluting).

​@@JeremiahTownsend The only downside is the battery life. I recently came across a video in which a Nissan Leaf's batterypack had to be replaced after only 100,000 miles. They don't come cheap either. Maybe in a few more years we'll get better batteries and then we'll really see the savings accrue.

@@davidmccarthy6061 yes better than a golf cart.

@@hermanwooster8944 battery tech has come a long way from the initial, uncooled Leaf batteries. Nissan made a mistake in the tech it chose for the Leaf batteries but they were the first usable mass produced EV in recent years so they get a pass. Also batteries are not all failing at 100K miles.

I never exceed 25 miles a day. You’d be shocked how many would find this car ideal.

The idea is good. Keep the distance minimum. Recharge the battery often to keep it's voltage at 13.33 volts for lead acid cells (equalization voltage) as far as possible, and it will last three years at 80% value. Lithium lasts 10 to 15 years.

Come to Albania if you really want unaffordable new cars tbh. VW Ups start all the way from over 12k euros (new). VW Ups ffs. That's like the most basic VW you'll ever get in your life. Hyundai Konas start from 23k euros. I won't even mention EVs because they are price-tagged like Jack Grealish, they are a pain in the arse to drive on Albanian roads (most of which have not been taken care of in years) and all the EV chargers are in Tirana which means that you can't really take a long journey to a city like kinda north or kinda south my country and back in one go, even though it's relatively small. New cars in Albania are not only unaffordable (like, I deadarse can't afford one in my dreams) but also get a ridiculous amount of tax, there are like 7 kinds of tax just for the fuel alone.
