Now we're talking! I am so genuinely pumped about this thing. The one drawback I should have focused on more is price. This needs to come down in price to something extremely reasonably. Thankfully, this is their goal. I'm glad this is already in production and they're selling every one they can. I love purpose-built vehicles way more than those that can do it all! Who thinks we should get one? There's talk we can adapt one to the US ahead of the official launch ;)
This is my first time seeing a tiny truck that can get up to speeds fast enough to get me to my local home improvement store for lumber runs. I'm keen on this green cutie.
Been loving all the Germany videos but this is the best one so far. The uniqueness of the vehicle with Kyles enthusiasm is really great. I would totally send my wife to Costco in this thing.
China has one of those for like 1,000 bucks. Dump bed even. Still super cute " truck". Would be great for work on a farm. Or more environmentally conscious warlord can mount their machine guns there and give Toyota a PR break.
Kyle, Love your channels. Bought the VW ID.4 and experienced some the places you stopped in Florida and Georgia in your previous videos. I hope you dont decide to move to Europe :)
I love the idea this is basically a modern EV Kei truck which sounds like an awesome idea tbh. It's a road legal ranch truck. It just needs to be in the price range of a similarly capable EV SXS especially since those will be coming out soon
what am i doing here? CAFÉ & CHARGE, THEATERS ALSO FOOD STORES ETC. Ford needs to buy cars from tesla all should buy tesla. what a way to go around dealers and having showrooms everyone will win but the big three now Elon should ramp up and get this order produced and delivered now! hertz. buy or rent from hertz!.
am not a german but the reason this is autobahn legal (partly) is i think that motorway has a specific min speed limit of 60 kmh i think? so this able to go @ 70 kmh just about makes it autobahn legal (after fulfilling other criteria in germany)
Hasn't anyone explained to this guy how to behave in german traffic? In a traffic-calmed zone and a speed limit of 30 km/h "full throttle" to race like a maniac over a sidewalk is absolutely careless or even inhuman! a small child can step on the sidewalk at any time, you can't imagine what can happen then! in Germany we call such a driving style “idiot driving”. And of course driving on sidewalks is not only forbidden for the reasons mentioned above!
Great car. But it really really expensive for what it is. You can get a similar one from China for the third of the price, so th rugged german version should not be that expensive. Look for the X-Bus. This one will be similar and great, too.
Meant for extreme conditions. Bet that small screen would fail in the deserts of Australia. Germany is the hardest place to license vehicles, yet a vehicle without abs and airbags got licenced. Down under that would pass. But will say its nice to see other companies trying to make cheaper electric vehicles out there
About the range thing, isn't it the same for gas vehicle? the faster you drive or heavier the load you carry, your gas vehicle will burn more fuel and thus shorter their range/liter of fuel and need refuel more often, so i think the problem with EV is not the range but the recharge infrastructure
Third world countries already have cars and rely on petrol and diesel. I don't know if the comments at the end of this video about third world countries going straight from bicycles to ev was suppose to be serious but it does seem to be a strange image of the third world.
Weißt du, was mich am meisten an so tollen Trucks nervt? Sie werden teilweise für 2000 Dollar nach Amerika verkauft, dieselben Fahrzeuge durchlaufen zig teure Prüfungen und werden dann aufgrund der Liezen und übertriebener steuern hier für 30000 Euro verkauft. ! Nochmal vorher lukrativ verkauft für 2000 Dollar hinterher 30000 Euro. Wenn man sie für 7000 verkaufen würde, hätte ich vermutlich schon einen, aber so neeee dann lieber ein Piaggio Porter NP6 für 17000 euro da ist die Ladeproblematik gleich auch kein Problem mehr, fährt nämlich mit Benzin oder Diesel.!
I am fascinated by this little truck. But I do not see it being a popular vehicle here in the states. I see this as basically an updated GEM electric. It’s noisy, crude and a very rough ride. A street legal John Deere Gator side by side. And the Deere looks better. That being said, I am glad it’s being produced. Trucklets like this have their uses. I do see them useful as a work utility vehicle. This truck appears that it could successfully be marketed as a low speed vehicle class. (35 mph and under). That way it does not have to meet the crash and safety standards a regular car or truck does. To put this in some perspective, this has a higher price than a new Ford Maverick XL hybrid 2 wheel drive pickup with the 2,000 lb tow package or Maverick XL eco boost 4x4 AWD with the 4000 pound max tow package. And it comes with a real interior, AC, Heater, airbags, safety suite, infotainment system and has more than double the speed and 8 times the power.
What an ultra cool little EV work truck. Can you imagine the "jaw drops" you'd get driving this in the USA. By the way whatever happened to that $16K Chinese EV you tested that was very basic?
How hard was it to register in Munich? I'm from Munich myself and I already have a prototype Chinese EV but that was registered prior to me but I want to go even more special now. I'm mostly new to that process
Well... they have power grids there. At least in the more developed areas. Also, more and more villages in African countries use locally installed solar powerplants, because it has become relatively cheap...
@@tarant315 The pins were Missing. Our egolf misses yust one pin. Charging on two phase. Europe has a Limit on one phase. 7 kW is max…and sometimes 4,6 kW.
Airbags are not mandatory in Germany / EU if the manufacturer had them not installed for homologation. Altough they need to be installed and working if the vehicle was equipped with them through homologation.
I live up near Algonquin Park, Ontario Canada, 100% Offgrid, Solar Powered. As I am rural & remote and off a 3rd tier road, it means I can get snowed in for days and it's rough country (not for cars) so I need a Truck but also a 4x4/AWD or there is just no getting here 50% of the time in winter anyway. Been waiting AGES for just such a vehicle, small light 4WD E-Truck that I can use on my property and to get to town for supplies & material. Sadly all f this is taking Much too long ! So now looking & considering the PAK-YAK but also pondering direct import from China. Pak-Yak = < $10,000 USD IN the USA and that's with the knobby tires, tilt box & extras.... REGARDING DEVELOPING NATIONS: That is HILLARIOUS ! I'm sorry but a €30,000 Vehicle won't find much marketspace in ANY Developing Nation ! Many of the African Nations are bringing in Cheap Chinese EV's, some are even getting Manufacturers to setup local Assembly Shops... See Egypt being one such...
I guess the plan is to start selling without losses and gradually bringin the price down while production goes up. Also without German street licensing should already be 5k cheaper
70kph top limit is bit of a problem. Not sure about Germany, but it's probably similar - you can't take vehicle which is not build to travel at 80kph on a highway. Maybe someone from Germany can confirm/deny?
To drive legally on German Autobahn the vehicle must be capable of an top speed over 60 kph. On Paper. I think its not save to drive only 60 kph on Autobahn at all...
For 1500 Eur or 5% of this expensive german truck you can get in England a second-hand beaten-up Ford transit van that will be more useful and more economical to run than this. I won't convert to electric until I see Romani gypsy doing their scrap metal run with an electric utility vehicle. This is good for local council to blow our hard-earned taxpayer money on vanity purchases and greenwashing crap.
did i hear u wrong, 30000 euro? chinese make a slight worse car at $3500 ruclips.net/video/bixJDOH864U/видео.html yep i know u would argue this one is better in quality, but 30000 euro? u can buy a tank from china.

The price is for German road legal specs. Leave the heater, the heated windshield and power outlet you will get an even better base price.
LOL cheapskate
Kyle's enthusiasm is joy we all need.
I had so much fun in that little thing! Love the color

I would totally send my wife to Costco in this thing.
Battery charging is Type ll. In the US they'll have Type l. I think that should be NACS...
I can see so many uses for this the landscapers at a University or the grounds keeper at a sports complex maybe a mailman or short run Amazon delivery

I want this way more than I should...
Same!
I hear ya. Me too
Oh, this is the aCar which I heard about about as a prototype (I think Transport Evolved covered it). That is indeed awesome.
Love it's personality! I would love this just to take to the grocery and errands around town 😂

And they couldn't even make all sides to drop on the bad that way you can get the flat bed right away and make it more appeal to the consumer!

hello from Germany , You don´t say : it´s too expensive , the range is not great, a friend of my has this car and already the first problems ......
how come american auto company dont to make mini electric truck like this video...

Too bad the truck bed doesn't have hydraulic lift like the Chang Li. But cool otherwise.
That a rip off 120 mille for 30k
For 30k I get a use tesla an get double that range 🤣🤣🤣
Hi Kyle Will you be doing a review on Hyundai Ioniq 5

I love it and the motor sounds!
Dang I like it 👍
Looking at the website... it was Ghana. Nice truck.
I think this is the highlight of your trip. Awesome 👍👍👍
30k is a no way:) but if it was actually cheap it would be a decent vehicle for a lot of diffrent everyday trashing.
Can't find any info on US imports, are they doing them?
Perfect for like councils and city maintenance
So... That's what ChangLi tried to copy?
Germany drives on the left? Cool
If they made a crew cab version and sold them in the US i'd be down
Can you get this in America? 🤔🤠

An electric minitruck? Nice!
Awesome but if they were designed to help the third world countries I am concerned that the price will defeat that purpose except it comes down.
"low 30 000 € range"
.. wtf
The passenger side door was not properly closed during the drivetest, so even less noise when closed
