Best of luck to Greg but at a projected base price of AU $40,000, I cant really see many people buying what is essentially a Cheap and basic under powered Chinese EV , esp when a Renault Kangoo (petrol) is $26K and the well appointed Kangoo ZE (electric) is $42k (200km range) .
Think $30k might me a more realistic price.

Agreed. $42k means I’d be looking at a small diesel car.
