This year, three electric vehicles take part in the "Autocentre" action "Car of the Year in Ukraine". These are the cars that were presented to Ukrainians in the past year: Bio Auto evA-4, i-MiEV "> Mitsubishi i-MiEV and BYD E6. Moreover, the first two compete in the same nomination: " A car small class". I still voted for "Eva" - it is still closer to the Ukrainian people than Mitsubishi. Well, in the nomination "Compact class car", of course, I voted for the electric BYD E6. Unfortunately, the rating does not give the ability to see the current positions in the nominations, which does not speak in favor of his honesty.And yet, if you trust the future of electric vehicles, take two or three minutes to register and vote for them in this promotion.
Let me remind you, the car of 2013 in the USA according to two authoritative publications. You can look at how this car was created, and you will also have no doubts - it really is the best.
Capital plant of trailers "Titan" is known for its products not only in Ukraine but also abroad. Its director Alexander Tuz is a fan of electric vehicles and has been driving a rare car for quite some time. sports electric car Tropica. Not surprisingly, he was constantly looking for opportunities to establish the production of electric vehicles in Ukraine, and it seems that he found it. Today, the Titan plant is seriously engaged in reworking petrol cars famous brands into electric vehicles. In our
It's a paradox, but the most popular electric cars in Ukraine are not officially imported. Almost all electric bestsellers are driven by individuals or specialized companies. But I must say that the list of official importers of electric cars is still growing and promises to become quite extensive already in 2017. So, for example, Hyundai and Renault announced the supply of cars “on batteries”.
In Ukraine, the most popular car with electric motor nissan leaf. Although the most expensive electric car on the market (Tesla) is not far off in the rankings. In Ukraine you can find different cars with the prefix EV (Electro Vehicle).
nissan leaf
The most popular electric car in Ukraine is one of the cheapest, in particular, when it comes to used cars. At the same time, the power reserve is not the worst, but it all depends on the year of manufacture. So, for example, the power reserve of the 2010 Nissan Leaf is 160 km. But a used Leaf covers a shorter distance. Nissan electric vehicles 2011-2012 initially provided a power reserve of 175 km, and the Leaf charging time was 7 hours (for previous model– 8 hours). At special stations, charging will take less than three hours, and Supercharger will charge the battery up to 80% in half an hour.
On new Leaf 2016 install a more capacious battery, which makes it possible to travel up to 250 km on a single charge. True, in winter the actual range of travel on a single charge can be significantly reduced. It is believed that in a 20-degree frost, a used Nissan Leaf travels 90 km.
Price Nissan Leaf bu - from 12 to 20 thousand dollars. Naturally, the cheapest options are Leafs of the first years of production and with a fairly worn out power battery.
Tesla Model S
The cost of Tesla with mileage starts from 50 thousand dollars. Tesla's range is the largest among other electric cars. In particular, the top version of the P100D can cover more than 600 km without recharging. The version with the 85 kW/h battery is 426 km, and with the 60 kW/h battery it is 335 km.
Tesla aluminum body, which does not lend itself to corrosion, but with minor injuries it is difficult to restore it. This car is not without flaws. On the older models of the first, there could be problems with the current converter - due to an unfortunate place, water got on the converter. It is also believed that with aggressive driving, power contacts can burn out.
Tesla overclocking can impress even the owners of the most fast supercars. Firstly, it is straightforward, and secondly, the Tesla electric car is able to accelerate almost like a sportbike. For example, the fastest Tesla Model S can reach the first hundred in 2.5 seconds!
Tesla Model S P85 2013 release with a range of about 50 thousand kilometers will cost 50-60 thousand dollars. Tesla price Model S 85D 2016 and without run - from 130 thousand dollars.
Tesla Model X
The electric crossover is built on the basis of the Model S sedan. It received versions with batteries with a capacity of 60, 75, 90 and 100 kW / h. The travel range on a single charge for the P100D version is almost 600 km, for the 90D it is 411 km; P90D - 400 km; 70D - 354 km. The car intrigued buyers not only with its characteristics and environmental friendliness, but also with the doors to the “falcon wings”.
The first crossover came to Ukraine in September 2016. The price for the new Model X 90D in Ukraine is almost $175,000, but the cost also depends on the supplier, as well as the specification of the electric vehicle (for the US or Europe). There are already offers for a used Tesla Model X for 100-120 thousand in US currency.
Renault Fluence ZE
Charging time is an hour less than that of the Nissan Leaf, but this is not the only advantage - the battery can be replaced in a few minutes at a special station. In Ukraine, by the way, the first official service of Renault electric vehicles has already been equipped.
Power reserve Renault Fluence ZE is not particularly impressive - 150 km. Fluence is strongly unified with its "brother", which has an engine internal combustion. Therefore, there are no problems in Ukraine with spare parts for the car. Unless, this may apply to controllers or other special electrical equipment. Price Renault electric car Fluence 4-5 years of age - about 15 thousand dollars. By the way, Fluence ZE has already been discontinued, and Renault has focused on electrical models Zoe and Kangoo.
Renault ZOE
A French electric car manufactured in 2012-2015 covers 150 km on a single charge, but these are the stated figures from the manufacturer. Such a run is possible under ideal conditions. Like Leaf, Renault Zoe will travel less kilometers in cold weather - about 100 km. after 2015 release has a battery that allows you to drive 210 km.
Zoe 2017 presented this year model year. main feature new items - the range of travel without recharging has grown to 400 km.
A car manufactured in 2014 in Ukraine costs about 18 thousand dollars. Renault Zoe without a run will cost almost twice as much.
Renault Kangoo Z.E.
“Electric heel” Renault began to sell since 2011. Renault Kangoo ZE travels 160 km on a single charge, but this figure can change not only because of the air temperature. IN this case the range of the electric Kangoo may vary depending on the load. By the way, Weight Limit baggage - 650 kg.
Electric car Kangoo 2012 sell for 12-13 thousand dollars. There are 2 options - the usual Kangoo and Maxi. Among them, you can choose a lightning or cargo-passenger version. Fall 2016 new Renault Kangoo Z.E. Sold in the official Renault dealer network.
bmw i3
With a 170-horsepower electric motor at 100% charge, it will travel 150 km. Another 60 km can be driven in energy-saving mode. But that's not all - an additional 130 km provides a 650 cc engine for 2 cylinders. This best option for those who are afraid to buy an electric car and find themselves in a situation where the battery charge is over, and there is no outlet nearby.
Another plus that the BMW i3 has is bmw electric car sold in Ukraine officially. This is not only a matter of convenience of purchase, but also of maintenance. The price of an electric BMW is about $50,000.
Ford Focus Electric
Electric Ford Focus created according to the principle "ICE - throw away, electric motor - install", so the fuel and electric Focus have many unified parts. When compared to the Nissan Leaf, the range is almost the same (about 160 km).
In the US, owners of some Ford Focuses have reported bugs in their cars that cause all electronics to lock out and forced to slow down to a full stop. Dealers have fixed the problems, so the likelihood of buying a car with such a problem is very low. But what can not be avoided is a small volume luggage compartment, which "ate" the batteries. At electric ford Focus trunk holds 390 liters. Ford price A used Focus Electric starts at $15,000.
Hyundai IONIQ
The electric version of the Korean novelty received a battery with a capacity of 28 kW / h. It will provide a power reserve of 250 km. The IONIQ is also available as a hybrid, conventional and plug-in rechargeable. Koreans spent world premiere three versions of IONIQ in Geneva in March 2016.
The Hyundai IONIQ electric car will officially be delivered to Ukraine, but there is still little information. But the main thing is that official sales suggest official service electric vehicles and possibly Hyundai hybrids.
Summary
Cheap cars are the most sensitive to mileage reduction. The reason is simple - they weaker batteries, therefore, in the case of the used market, the reduction in power reserve by inexpensive electric car will be more noticeable than on expensive electric models with an initially longer range on a single charge. After all, it is one thing minus 30 kilometers for Nissan Leaf with a total reserve of 160-200 km, and quite another - minus 30 km for Tesla with a power reserve of 400-600 km. Of course, ideally buy new electric car, but its price is unbearable even for some wealthy Ukrainians.
Some people are afraid to buy a used electric car because of the risks of buying a car with “killed” batteries, while others, on the contrary, do not understand the meaning of a significant overpayment for an electric car without a run. Therefore, unequivocal recommendations for choosing and buying electric car No. One thing is certain: the appearance official stations for the repair and maintenance of electric vehicles is in the hands of everyone - both current and future owners of electric vehicles, regardless of the brand and year of manufacture.

An unusual Synchronous vehicle, proudly called the first Ukrainian electric car, debuted at the EVER (Ecologic Vehicles and Renewable Energies) exhibition held in Monaco. It was presented by Electric Marathon International under the leadership of Ukrainian businessman Andrey Bily and Honorary Consul of Monaco in Estonia Yuri Tamm. This company organizes annual races from countries former USSR in Monaco in vehicles with alternative drive. The first such marathon under the patronage of Prince Albert II was held in 2011 along the Tallinn-Monaco route, and at the end of this May, the fifth run will start in Lviv.
The Synchronous electric car has been announced for participation, but details about its design and capabilities are not yet available. On the Electric Marathon International website, the electric Synchronous is called own development, but from the details only an innovative electric motor, a lithium-ion battery, a body made of environmentally friendly materials are reported, solar battery in the roof and tinted panoramic glass. Of course, "in the near future" is promised mass production such Vehicle, and their scope, according to the authors, is work as a taxi, a hotel shuttle or a sightseeing car.
few more information comes from the direct creators of the machine - the Odessa company EcoFactor, which distinguished itself last year by converting the old Zaporozhets ZAZ-966 to electric traction and creating the "first on the territory of independent Ukraine" Edison electric tractor. It is known that the design of Synchronos, inspired by the appearance of horseless carriages of the past, was drawn by the Kiev studio Prystrast, and the Odessa workshop CarCustoms took part in the production of the composite body.
With a length of 4490 mm, the electric car can accommodate seven riders, and the driver's seat is separated by a partition from the main cabin, in which two sofas (devoid of seat belts) are located opposite each other. The electric motor is allegedly developed by EcoFactor “using the Slavyanka technology”, and the data on the power reserve on a single charge vary: in some sources it is 130-160 km, in others it is about 100. the maximum speed is 130 km / h, and the mileage is as much as 500 km!
It remains to be remembered that, in fact, Ukrainian electric vehicles already existed. Back in 1973, an electric ZAZ-968 was built at the Zaporozhye Machine-Building Institute with an advanced pulse semiconductor converter at that time. And in the period from 1991 to 1994, electric Tavria was made in Zaporozhye with its own ZAZ-1109 index. The Ukrainian market still offers kits for converting Tavria to electric traction. However, if we consider only new cars with an original design, Synchronous, perhaps, can indeed be called the first experience of Ukrainians in the electric vehicle industry.

Although Ukraine is not the most advanced country in terms of automotive industry, our engineers have a lot to learn in the field of creating electric vehicles, even the guys from Tesla
The first mass-produced electric car in the USSR began to produce Lviv car assembly plant back in the 1950s. Since then, various kinds of electric transport have been built in Zaporozhye, Lvov, Kharkov and other cities, but it only rarely came to mass production. And yet we have something to be proud of. Let's trace the history of the domestic electric vehicle industry from the middle of the last century to the present day.
Lviv
On April 26, 1949, the Council of Ministers of the USSR issued a resolution obliging the State Planning Committee of the USSR to allocate funds for the organization of a plant for the production of electric vehicles and buses. By the same decree, the car assembly plant was renamed into the Lviv Bus Plant.
LAZ-750 and LAZ-751
The young enterprise was given a plan to produce 3,000 truck cranes, 1,000 electric vehicles and 2,000 buses. One of the first products of Lviv bus factory became an electric truck, released in 1951 in two versions. LAZ-750 (with a carrying capacity of 0.5 tons) and LAZ-751 (with a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons) were intended for mail delivery: they had to pick up correspondence from mailboxes and deliver it to the Main Post Office.

For their time, the electric trucks of the Lviv plant had good characteristics. The vans were equipped with two electric motors located at the rear on the frame cross member, the torque was transmitted to rear wheels. The bodies of electric vehicles were made of aluminum and plywood for maximum lightening of the vehicles.
Photo: LAZ-751 (denisovets.narod.ru)
Electric motors LAZ‑750 developed 5.7 kW of total power. They were fed by 40 batteries with a capacity of 200 Ah and a voltage of 80 V. The maximum speed of the car was 33 km / h, and the cruising range was up to 50 km / h.
The older model with the index 751 carried one and a half tons of cargo and was equipped with 42 batteries. Electric motors developed a total of 8 kW. The maximum speed of the car was less than that of the 750th - 30 km / h, but the cruising range was slightly higher - up to 60 km.

In Lvov, ten cars of each model were made. All 20 electric vehicles were sent to work in Moscow and Leningrad, where they worked regularly until 1958. Electric trucks did their job well, but in the cold season, the range fell sharply. Batteries have been a disadvantage of LAZ electric vehicles. Heavy lead batteries, installed under the floor of the vans, were very heavy and only lasted 200-300 charge cycles. They had to be changed about once every 20 thousand kilometers, and besides, they were quite expensive.
It turned out that electric vehicles are not so easy to operate, and the initial cost of the car was 2 times more expensive than the gasoline counterpart. In the end, they decided to close the economically unprofitable electric car project, especially since LAZ had already mass-produced big buses and there was no free production capacity for the production of electric vehicles.
LAZ-360EM
In 1970, specialists from the Head Allied Design Bureau in Lvov developed unique bus. It was low-floor, powered by a 180-horsepower internal combustion engine and a pair of electric motors, which were powered by a 132 kW generator. The hybrid city bus was equipped with an electric transmission that transmits torque to two rear axles, and was also made in a futuristic design. Despite Hi-tech and excellent characteristics, the bus did not go into the series.

It should be noted that the mass production of low-floor buses began only 20 years after the appearance of the LAZ-360EM.
Nowadays
In January 2016, the first Ukrainian electric bus, produced on Lviv plant"Electron".

The electric bus is equipped with a battery that provides it with a range of 220 kilometers. Such an electric bus accelerates up to 70 kilometers per hour. The 12-meter low-floor electric bus is capable of carrying 100 passengers at the same time.
Kharkiv
In the history of domestic electric vehicle construction, Kharkiv distinguished itself in two areas: the creation of trolley cars and sports electric vehicles. The first ones were heavy trucks powered by trolleybus lines of wires. Sports electric cars were built mainly by students of the Kharkov Road Institute. ABOUT mass production were not discussed in any of these cases, but the developments that appeared during their creation can be used in production cars and today.
YaAZ-210E HTTU
At the end of 1952, in one of the depots of the Kharkov tram and trolleybus department, the so-called trolley car was built - truck With electric motors receiving electricity from trolls.
Photo: Trolleyvoz YaAZ-210E HTTU (m2motors.com.ua)
Trolley cars were developed by the Institute of Mining of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR by order of the Main Directorate of the Non-Metal Resources Industry. In September 1952, a three-axle trolley carrier YaAZ-210E HTTU Experienced was built. The truck received an electric motor with a power of 86 kW, and instead of the native cabin, the front of the trolleybus was installed. Although the trolley carrier performed well in tests and even served as the basis for the creation of 6 more similar vehicles in 1956, it did not go into series.
MAZ-525 HTTU
next step joint work Ukrainian designers in the field of electric transport began the production of another trolley car.
In 1954, through the joint efforts of MAZ, the Institute of Mining of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR and the Kharkov trolleybus depot, a unique trolleybus dump truck was created, called MAZ-525 KhTTU. The car was equipped with two trolleybus electric motors total power 172 kW, which were controlled by one controller and four contact panels. The electric motor also powered the power steering and lifting device dump platform.
Photo: Trolleyvoz MAZ-525 KhTTU (wikipedia.org)
The MAZ-525 KhTTU test reports noted that, compared to traditional dump trucks, the work of drivers on such machines was easier, the performance of trolley trucks was 76% higher, and the cost per ton-kilometer was 39% lower. Despite this, the operation of trolley cars was generally recognized as inappropriate. Or rather, expedient, but under the fulfillment of a number of conditions that are unattainable in real life.
sports roadster
Kharkov Road Institute in 1961 produced a unique sports roadster with a fiberglass body, called HADI-2. It was designed and built by the student design bureau of the institute. The body had no doors and was made by gluing fiberglass in 10 layers.
Initially, the car was equipped with a motor and clutch from the M-72 motorcycle. Later, the motorcycle engine was replaced with an electric one. At the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy in Kyiv and Moscow, the Kharkov electric roadster won awards for advanced technologies in car design.

Kharkiv residents even managed to officially register their creation and get state license plates for it. After that, the creators of HADI-2 made several long runs across Ukraine and even reached Moscow.

According to information from some sources, HADI-2 has survived to this day and is used every year in the ceremony of initiation of freshmen into students.
Record-breaking electric cars
The next Kharkiv-designed electric car and the first record was the HADI-11E, released in 1972. The car received a compound electric motor with a power of 30 kW, powered by lead and silver-zinc batteries.
Photo: Record racing HADI-11E (lsa.net.ua)
In 1973, during races at the NAMI auto-proving ground in Dmitrov, the HADI-11E electric car became the owner of three all-Union records at once. The first record was set for the maximum speed at a distance of 0.5 km from a standstill - the electric car accelerated to 93.7 km/h. At a distance of 1 km from the move, the car accelerated to 145.7 km / h. Both records exceeded world records. When starting from a place, HADI-11E drove 1 km from average speed 109.1 km/h.
HADI-13E
The HADI-13E racing car was created specifically for speed record races - in fact it was a pure dragster. A 30 kW electric motor was located at the rear of the fiberglass body, and was powered by a dozen silver-zinc batteries.
Photo: Record racing HADI-13E (lsa.net.ua)
In 1977, the rocket-like electric car set several records. So, at a distance of 1 km with a start from the move, the car developed 161.7 km / h, and when starting from a standstill - 115.9 km / h. For 500 meters, when starting from a standstill, the electric car managed to pick up a speed of 96.2 km / h. At the same time, the HADI-13E accelerated to 100 km / h in 9.5 seconds.
Photo: Record racing HADI-13E in the museum (lsa.net.ua)
According to calculations maximum speed a car weighing 450 kg was supposed to be 250 km / h.
HADI-21E
In 1983, Kharkov designers presented another record model electric sports car with index HADI-21E.
The car was equipped with two power plant, which is two tank starter-generators of 30 kW each. The torque was transmitted to a common gearbox. Power was provided by 12 silver-zinc batteries, and the designers provided for the possibility of turning off four of them.
Photo: Record racing HADI-21E in the museum (lsa.net.ua)
The car took part in races to set a speed record. Starting from a standstill at a distance of 0.5 km, he set an all-Union speed record reaching 99 km / h. The maximum design speed of a 600-kilogram machine was 250 km / h.
Photo: Record racing HADI-21E, which became HADI-23E (lsa.net.ua)
In 1983, a streamlined body with closed wheels was installed on the HADI-21E, after which the electric car received the designation HADI-23E.
HADI-28E
The electric dragster was built in 1985-87 to participate in record races, but never made it to the competition.
Photo: Record racing HADI-28E (lsa.net.ua)
A distinctive feature of the car was an electric motor direct current from an underwater torpedo. The power of this electric motor was 100 kW.
Zaporozhye
One of the centers of the Ukrainian automotive industry - the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant - throughout its history has repeatedly tried to put an electric car on the conveyor. One way or another, all these attempts ended in nothing.
ZAZ-968 Electro
In 1973, an experimental electric car was created at the Zaporozhye Machine-Building Institute on the basis of the ZAZ-968 model. “Elektrozaporozhets” was equipped with a 4 kW electric motor, which allowed it to reach a maximum speed of 60 km / h. But the main highlight of the car was a pulse semiconductor converter, which favorably distinguished the Ukrainian electric car from cars with a step regulator. This design made it possible to smoothly change the operating modes of the electric motor, avoid losses on resistances, and, most importantly, to perform automatic regenerative braking with recharging the batteries.
Photo: ZAZ-968 Electro (perunica.ru)
The electric car was called "ZMI - electro". Accumulator battery The car weighed about 400 kg, and on one charge the prototype could cover a distance of 100 km.
At the All-Union Exhibition of Scientific and Technical Creativity of Youth (VDNKh) in 1974, "ZMI - Electro" deserved gold medal and was declared ready for launch in a series. However, the machine did not go into mass production.
ZAZ Tavria 11091 Electro
After 20 years - in 1994 Zaporozhye plant presented a prototype car 1109 ZAZ Tavria Electro based on ZAZ 1102-60.
The car was powered by an electric motor maximum power 25 kW. Through a mechanical 3-speed transmission, the torque was transmitted to the front axle of the car. Max stock travel on a single battery charge was 140 km, and for full charge batteries with a capacity of 160 Ah required 8 hours. The maximum speed of the car reached 90 km / h.
Photo: ZAZ Tavria 11091 Electro (autoconsulting.ua)
The regenerative braking system made it possible to save up to 15% of the charge lead acid batteries. Such batteries withstood about 400 charge cycles, providing an interservice run without replacing batteries up to 40 thousand kilometers.
The matter never came to the launch of an electric car in mass production due to a lack of funds at the plant.
ZAZ Tavria 110206 Hybrid
The specialists of the same institute created hybrid car based on "Tavria", combining an electric motor with gasoline ICE. The car was driven by an electric motor, the energy for which was generated by a single-cylinder gasoline engine with an 11 hp power.
Photo: ZAZ Tavria 110206 Hybrid (autocentre.ua)
With the ICE turned off, the capacity of ten batteries (100 Ah) was enough for 50 km of run, and with a running gasoline engine the power reserve increased to 750 km.
ZAZ Lanos Pick-up Electro
Another attempt to launch electric vehicles into mass production at the Zaporozhye Automobile Plant was made in 2010, when they presented ZAZ Lanos Pickup Electro.
The electric pickup was equipped with an electric motor with a capacity of 15 kW and 8 batteries, providing a range of about 100 km before charging. One Ukrainian-made battery pack was located under the hood, the other - in the cargo compartment.
Photo: ZAZ Lanos Pick-up Electro (lanos.in.ua)
Perhaps this was the moment when ZAZ was closest to conveyor production electric vehicles. But the case "stalled" on several machines. Although on the Internet you can find sites offering electric pickup Lanos, made "in Kyiv or Moscow" to order.
Enthusiasts
From time to time, information appears in the Ukrainian media about the independent development of electric vehicles by enthusiastic engineers. For example, we recently wrote that a Kiev retired designer created a number of cheap electric vehicles. Eduard Rudik built more than 20 electric vehicles on his own and at his own expense, and managed to spend no more than 5 thousand dollars on each of them. One of the last creations of a Kyivian - compact electric car Panko is capable of driving 100 km and accelerating up to 70 km/h.

On the net, you can easily find a lot of sites and forums where Ukrainian enthusiasts share their experience in re-equipment ordinary cars in electrical and the creation of such machines from scratch.
Thoughts on the future
Perhaps the most significant recent event for the Ukrainian automotive industry was the news that the first Ukrainian electric car, named Synchronous, was presented in Monaco. The creators of the outlandish electric carriage-carriage, in all seriousness, declare their intention to establish serial production of the car.

And while Tesla customers are waiting for the ordered Model 3, Ukrainian manufacturers there is time to properly apply all the developments of previous years and finally make Ukrainian
Now in Ukraine the most cheap electric car offer for 1300 USD - however, this is a handicraft altered shaggy years "Tavria". But she rides on electric traction, and the owner promises from 50 km of power reserve, and if this is not enough for you, you can increase the number of batteries. Yes, I understand that many of you will disdain to drive this rarity - we have compiled a list of electric cars that can be purchased in Ukraine as a specialist for all of them.
Tesla S
Legendary, fast, innovative, modern, up-to-date… You can pick up a lot of epithets for this car for a long time. I will say that this is one of the first electric cars that offered decent dynamics (5 seconds to 100 km / h) along with a huge power reserve - from 300 to 500 km! This means that you can safely ride it for a whole week to work and not think about the charge!
In addition to amazing technical data, the car has a chic design and a bunch of nice buns. The price is at the level of a well-equipped business-class sedan. Presented with us, we don’t even know how to say it ... In general, semi-officially. MOT is carried out abroad. You can easily buy as European version, and American - because of this, the cost on the market is diverse, from about $ 70,000.
MITSUBISHI I-MIEV
Electric car from eminent Japanese brand- this is, of course, not a Tesla sports car, but a small city hatch, but, as happens with new products, we mixed it up and tested it as a gadget on keddr.com. The characteristics are more modest: for example, a power reserve of 150 km (more than enough to move around the city for 1 day). The price will also be less - 530,000 UAH. The model is presented officially, and yes, the guys from Mitsubishi threatened to organize a charging network in all dealerships before the start of sales.
The creation of a major Chinese brand promises 300 kilometers on a single charge and spaciousness in the cabin. Although the maximum speed is limited to 140 km / h, which is relatively legal in Ukraine, this hippo accelerates to a hundred in less than 10 seconds. Hopes were pinned on this car as the first Ukrainian electric taxi, but still the price of 800,000 UAH is too big. Presented officially, even give a guarantee.
LIFAN 320
A Chinese parody of the "Mini", however, the cheapest electric car with a promised range of 250 km. There is a Sport version for 150 km, but the top speed of 100 km/h makes the Sport prefix a great banter over itself. Although it is not officially represented by the importer, but all sites on electric vehicles are full of this model. average cost — $19 990.
A whole family of electric cars, but we're looking at a 5-door version that the company plans to use as a taxi. The power reserve is 130-150 km, and for successful use in the Kiev taxi, a network is planned charging stations near metro lines, but what will a taxi driver do if he gets stuck in a traffic jam on Troyeshchina, where there is no metro? The model is officially presented with a price of 220,000 UAH.
