Nice looking car.

Sodium battery,

Cheap.

But … for now only in China. That said BYD is one of China’s biggest new car companies.

This has already been produced since April

“Edgy” is another word for “ugly”.

Here is what you can currently purchase from China on sale for just $10,600 before shipping, handling, tariffs, and other taxes. But you better hurry because SEPT. 16th 7 HR. SALE ends in just 14 hours.

What a deal! Look at that cute sticker that makes it look like it has a grill.

By the time The Federal Highway Administration got through with it, you'd have to double the price.

Sorry, here is the link to the "Pride Ride"... Of course it is not actually street legal... except maybe in places where they allow golf carts.

I agree that it is an attractive little car... Who knows how well it would hold up? And by the time it made it through all the government hoops and other challenges it is not going to be starting at $11,300.

No mention of top speed so I’m going to assume 62 mph. That pretty much takes it out of the American market with the possible exception of an inner city runabout.

It’s still no good for apartment dwellers with no place to plug in over night. Add another thousand to home owners to install a charging system. Renters will have to work it out with the landlord.

I do hope the sodium-ion tech is safer without all that splody stuff the lithium batteries do so often.

Nice, maybe. More importantly, where do you put the golf bags and cooler? How many rounds of golf before recharge.

YES, I think it looks like a golf cart for residents of The Villages.

The front end says “golf cart” to me.

I’m a “Boomer” so, any discussion of “good-looking” cars, absent the mention of the genius of design by American auto-makers from the 1930s through the 1960s is useless. I’m sorry but that “thing” the Chinese built is not “good-looking!” Besides, I’d be afraid that thing wouldn’t crank-up in the snow!

IS electrical charging system compatible with USA power grid?

Travelers to EUROPE have to have transformers for all their hair dryers/electric razors, etc.
