Modified golf cart. Or child’s toy.

Tempting for what use?

Golf course is the only thing I could think of that I would trust using it for. That thing is as much a deathtrap as the “Smart” cars, and I remember vividly one fatal accident of one of those “Smart” cars with an 18 wheeler ended up with the driver of that little thing having his carcass completely removed from his skin due to the violent impact.

It really is a golf cart, and probably bad news for the golf cart makers here in the U.S.

Someone wants to make money off that, and they could care less if it puts Americans out of a job, just like all the rest of the “offshoring” greedy mothers.

From the article:
Keep in mind that Changli vehicles are not homologated for on-road use in the US and do not meet the required Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for their class of motor vehicle. Thus, they are not street legal in most areas of the country.

Not that that matters for car choices or anything.

Somehow it reminds me of a Yugo.

Here in the United States it’s being re-branded as the WokeMobile.

The EIM Grunt and Pak Yak were so much fun to drive that it was like being a kid again. It was so small and quirky that I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time.
= = =

It is my observation that small cars are in danger of not being seen.

One day a SmartCar pulled up at an intersection and I did not “see” it. Well I DID see it, but it did not register as any familiar vehicle. Cars, motorcycles, bicycles, pedestrians are in my mental recognition data bank, but not that small and strange SmartCar.

So I extrapolate that to these small EVs. Some will be ‘not seen’ and hit in traffic situations. A warning to drivers of them.

A base model car costs $6,500

I'd rather find a good, low-mileage used Honda or Toyota from a vetted private owner for around that price.

Wouldn't even survive on suburban streets around here with this performance.

The “Grunt” car can go about 20 miles on a charge and do roughly 25 mph.

So many stupid worthless amerisharts would be in favor of closing their rope factories, putting fellow amerisharts out of work, just so they can buy it one dollar cheaper, only to gladly commit suicide with it later on down the road because they were told to by chinese run social media, and because their lives have become empty, consumer based, barely-getting-by existences with no future and nothing to look forward to, except the next comic book based movie.
