Baojun E300 Plus: How cheap is this EV from General Motors? | 100% Independent, 100% Electric

LIKE if you think there should be more sub 10,000 EVs, and SHARE if you think traditional car companies could learn from the Asian markets. Full description below...

In this episode, Fully Charged's East Asian correspondent, Elliot Richards, took the opportunity to take Baojun's bizarre-looking E300 out on the roads around Shanghai. Beyond its initial appearance the driving experience and the technology is more feature-rich than we might have expected for a car that costs as little as $9,700. The E300 does have its shortcomings of course and the braking in particular came in for sharp criticism. When it comes to core statistics the Baojun E300 Plus has a 31.9kWh battery, an NEDC range of 190 miles - not unrealistic when city-only driving - and can be fully charged from empty in one hour.
