This is what we want in Europe. An electric car arrives with a price below € 13,000 and a range of 500 km – FonTech

The Chinese continue to surprise. We have often seen that they can produce cutting-edge technology in this country at prices that none of the leading manufacturers can compete with. The same is currently happening in the electric car segment. The carmaker Qiantu Motor is launching pre-orders for a 2-seater electric hatchback with a price of € 12,200, writes Electrek. If we want a really cheap electric car in Europe, we will probably have to wait for one of the Chinese cars to bring it. However, Qiantu MotorAj is proving to be “unreal”. Chinese carmakers already operate in Europe, but the prices of their electric cars in our country are significantly higher than in the domestic market and practically do not compete with traditional European carmakers at all. Qiantu K20, a compact hatchback with two seats and a range of about 500 km. According to the CnEVpost portal, the Qiant K20 is no “city cart”. It is truly a full-fledged electric car, as evidenced by its parameters. From 0 to 100 km / h, they accelerate in 4.7 seconds, while behind this great acceleration is a pair of electric motors with a combined power of 160 kW and a torque of 290 Nm, while electric motors drive all four wheels. There is also a single-axle drive version, which in turn offers higher range. Qiantu MotorNa on paper, the performance is not so dazzling, but the whole car weighs an incredible 780 kg. This is an unusually low weight for an electric car and it is really questionable how the carmaker wants to achieve it. If this electric car is to travel about 500 km on a single charge, the battery must have a capacity of 60-70 kWh and only the weight of such a battery is currently around 300 kg. Different configurations and color combinationsAuto targets young customers, to which the carmaker has adapted not only the overall appearance, but also the color combinations. Those who decide to pre-order the electric car will receive a lifetime warranty on the battery and a number of other benefits. Unfortunately, this interesting electric car will probably never get out of the Chinese market, so Europeans can still only envy. Even if such an electric car came to Europe, its price in our country would definitely not be at the level of € 12,000. However, if such a sharp hatchback cost us as much as € 20,000, it would certainly be a blockbuster. vehicle and any driving on the highway is “suffering”. Thank you for reading Fonts.
