Chery M1 EV Instead Of The Electric Car

Chinese manufacturers are rushing to implement development projects of electric vehicles, such a company is Chery Automobile Co., which launched a high-speed all-electric EV M1. Chinese cars to electric cars small city cars to come. With a cheap price. Do not panic, however, Chery M1 instead of the electric car. Hardly. Not a good model of the new brand is an electric version of the M1 Riich, which sold for more than a year in China. Riich is a sub-brand Chery.

What is strange for a company that is not even 15 years for a sub-brand, but has already four Riich Chery brand, with a little more elegant than the bread and butter of Chery Auto. M1 base gasoline engine of one liter begins just below the 40,000 RMB (~ $ 6000). But only two airbags, and you have to pay 70,000 yuan to close (~ $ 10,500) for a model with a 1.3 liter engine and power steering.

E-M1 has been seen before, and the name of the Chery S18. In fact, I remember the press release in February 2009, Chery said it had launched an electricity S18. It ‘just a lie … Only a few cars are made for testing, and none were sold to private customers. The cars are available at the time, price 149.800000000000 yuan (~ $ 22,600) and the base model, and 229.800000000000 yuan (~ $ 34,600), the best version, electric air conditioning system. This is not the price that we expect from Chinese producers. The Chery Riich M1 is a very small car, 142 cm long and 63 inches long. Who would pay much for such a small car?

Chery electricity in China with the support of incentives for zero-emission vehicles up to 60,000 yuan (~ $ 9,000), but no plans to export abroad. I understand. M1 EV has a top speed of 75 mph is a range of 93 miles on lithium batteries BAK. Even if a really good player, which I doubt, will have a difficult time against the sheet Nissan or Mitsubishi i-MiEV.

Chery has joined other local automakers, including the Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Co and Great Wall Motor Co., the launch of a new energy vehicles, the sectors identified by the Government of China has strategic interests. M1-EV is equipped with an electric propulsion system is 336 volts, has a top speed of 120 mph and can cover 150 miles on one charge, the company said in a statement. The statement did not say how the cost of the new models. To promote Chery will be more difficult to produce environmentally friendly cars by electricity.
