Maple 30X EV (China)

Interesting things about this vehicle:
- It’s a joint venture between auto manufacturer Geely and battery manufacturer Kandi.
- It’s also a partial revival of Geely’s former Shanghai Maple brand, simplified to just Maple.
- It will have a starting price of only $9,778 (after incentives) , with an advertised range of 190 miles (though it’s expected to realistically be closer to 150).
Should be interesting to see how it compares to another low priced Chinese market EV, the $8,650 (after incentives) Renault K-ZE.

So if it’s a Maple, does that mean that under the skin it’s a 30-year-old Daihatsu Charade?
