  • You’ve all been so very patient, but, finally, it’s time. The world’s cheapest new electric car you can buy has been ordered from Alibaba, shipped over from China, trucked to my house, unboxed, and now it’s finally time to see if this ridiculous thing actually drives. Are you excited? Of course you are; you’re human. So go ahead and watch that video up there and see for yourself.
    Like all of my experiences with the Changli so far, I’m genuinely surprised at how much better it is than I was expecting. It drives! It drives in a perfectly usable manner, not quickly at all, no, God no, but for a neighborhood vehicle, it absolutely works.
    I mean, yeah, we got it stuck in the mud almost immediately, but David and I just lifted the back up onto the bricks and were good to go.

      The French actually have this concept - the voiture sans permis. They are intended for teenagers and the elderly, and folk in rural areas, and you don't require a licence to drive one. The cars are limited in speed (28mph). But of course they were incredibly popular with anyone who had been banned for drink driving.

    This type of “car” was originally designed for people with disabilities or having difficulty moving around. It’s not classified as a motor vehicle so you don’t need a registration or license to drive it. Also for safety reasons some manufacturers would put a speed cap on the motors. Not sure Changli has it though. It’s basically a motorized scooter with roof.

    Watch James May’s segment on the original Fiat 500 on his show “Cars Of The People” with its eye-watering 13 hp motor and cloth roof to save money on metal; this is basically the same thing but electric, a car for families around the world who are making the equivalent of a couple thousands per year. This is a big upgrade for folks who otherwise would have to pile families and cargo on top of a bike or a 2-stroke scooter. For not much more $ their families can stay out of the weather and carry cargo inside. The slowness and enclosed cabin makes it a bit safer. This should be functionally compared to bicycles or scooters in the class of the old Honda Super Cubs. If this improves the lives of people in the third world, without a smog-spewing two-stroke motor, then big thumbs up.

      the tata nano didn't reckon with indian fashion/class consciousness of people who could actually afford one, despite their poverty. imo it would have been better suited to a government program that handed them out to people truly on the bottom of the economic heap. and likewise, this car is *so* cheap, you could imagine western do-gooders handing them out to remote villages, instead of bibles or whatever it is they usually do. often they just turn up to perform labor, under the impression that poor people are too stupid to solve basic problems. the winning factor is that with a few solar panels, there is no requirement for infrastructure ... no gas stations, no power lines, nothing. there are lots of places on the planet with nearly zero infrastructure. at some point, basic stuff becomes cheap enough for developed countries to simply give it away

      I assume it is a power limit then rather than something that specifically stop acceleration beyond a certain point. If it only has 1.1 hp i don't see it going any faster than in the video with the shape of it. What does it get up to without the limit? 5 hp or something?

    I had a little Zap Xebra some years ago (bought new), and it was a lot of fun as a new car. However, before the first year was out, the batteries went from poor to awful, and I couldn't justify replacing them that often (both due to the expense and environmental impacts). I passed it off to someone else, and they replaced the batteries but also stopped using it. Then to a third person, and I didn't hear any rave reviews from them. In short, these cars are fun in the beginning and then become albatrosses around the neck, at least in my experience. As at least one other commenter said, yes, turn off anything else drawing from the batteries while you're driving. They're mostly bells and whistles anyway.

    In China we call these kinds of cars "老头乐" which literally means “Old man happy” since most of the buyers are the old daddy who wants to experience the driving. About the speed, actually it is limited for safety, but they're always some cheating ways to "unlock" the limit. Take my electric scooter for example, pull the full brake of the right handle and maximum the accelerator when the power is on, you'll unlock the speed limit and it will speed up to about 50km/h which is too fast in the city. I believe the Changli got the same thing in it.

Over the years the allowable cc ratings increased to like 350cc, then 500, then 550 then 650cc then 1,000cc etc. Hence those small Japanese cars with small motors (the earliest ones being 2-stroke engines using a pre-mixed fuel/oil mixture).

      Alibaba, prices are straight from the manufacturer. They sell absolutely everything from twist ties, to an L10-11 aircraft, and everything in between. Cheap prices, minimum purchase amount on bigger items like this is usually one. Not sure exactly how much, but the shipping on something this size/weight would easily double the price. They also have a TON of late model(2015-2019) Honda Accord's, and Toyota Camry's for sale. All with right around 150,000 miles. All look like they are in very nice condition, for $800!

    Do you need driver license to driver that in USA? How do you register the car? Does it need a tag from the state?

      Golf carts cost tons more, have no wipers lights or defrost stock.

    I think the extra mirrors are for IF you flip it on its side and the mirrors break. I noticed it looked like it was going to flip on its side at one of the turns.
