Bizarre Vehicle Category in China: Ultra-Narrow Low-Speed EVs
A dude at Jalopnik bought one of these and he's made a series of videos on it. https://jalopnik.com/the-changli-at-one-how-the-cheapest-new-car-in-the-wor-1847176033
it appears to be a bit safer than piling your family and friends on a small motorcycle or scooter, which is a fairly common sight. if they eventually regulate and legalize these, they could be a great low(er) price option for many. hopefully they can improve the batteries, though.
From an overal life cycle perspective I am sure it doesn't do much better than a ICE vehicle of the same weight. But for the air quality in dense Chinese cities it does wonders (as long as the coal fed power plant is not close by).
