JAC Motors, a Volkswagen-backed Chinese automaker, unveiled the first mass-produced EV with a sodium-ion battery through its new Yiwei brand. Although sodium-ion battery tech has a lower density than lithium-ion, its lower costs, simpler and more abundant supplies and superior cold-weather performance could help accelerate mass EV adoption.
That’s not bad if the price is right.
I’d be willing to buy one for ~$5-8k.
5-8k for a car in this day and age? That’s the price of a scooter
Citröen Ami.
The Ami starts for substantially more than that.
And even then, it’s not legally classified as a car. It has virtually no crash safety, a top speed of 28mph assuming no incline, and a real world range of 40 miles.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the Ami, but it’s a scooter alternative more than a car alternative.
Lmao $5k for a brand new car. You’re dreaming mate
Who ever said brand new?
Might want to brush up on your reading comprehension, ‘mate’.
It’s a post about a new vehicle, when you talk about “buying one” it’s clearly inferred you’re buying from the factory.
Also, there’s no need to be a complete dick. It’s not a good look for you
No, it’s not inferred at all. The vast majority of people buying cars buy them used.
You’re just desperate to justify your assumption.

I’d pay $15-20, depending on how well it worked.
