@LaurinKramer The spring is actually a pretty good comparison, because the spring was originally a chinese market cheap EV. But (before incentives) it tripled it's price from the original model (Renault K-ZE) because of how much they had to rework it for it to be allowed onto the European market. The price for this Changan would similiarly rise a lot if it could be redesigned.

Unfortunately impossible in Europe or the US due to safety regulations.

@CRhodesDesign Yes the Honda E is small, but it's double the weight, triple the price and 60cm longer compared to this Changan. So it's not as small and nowhere near as cheap. Of course Honda E/Mini SE etc size cars are possible, but not the price of this Changan. Dacia Spring also had to go through extensive redesigning under the skin to be allowed on the European market and it tripled the price in that process compared to it's Chinese market base car.

Never. The larger Renault K-ZE had to be redesigned so heavily under the skin to match European regulations that by the time it came here as the Dacia Spring, the price had almost tripled. These could pass as heavy quadricycles instead to skip all the safety regulation (like Twizy or Ami), but they're too heavy for that.

@TobiasHinz1992 Unfortunately cars like this Changan are too heavy to fit into L7e, since they aren't designed with that in mind like the Ami, Microlino etc are.

It would be interesting to see models like these in Europe, but the larger Renault K-ZE had to be redesigned so heavily under the skin to match European regulations that by the time it came here as the Dacia Spring, the price had almost tripled. These could pass as heavy quadricycles instead to skip all the safety regulation (like Twizy or Ami), but they're too heavy for that too.
