The joint venture of General Motors, Wuling Automobile and SAIC Motor Corporation, the largest Chinese state-owned automotive company, produced a two-seat budget electric vehicle Baojun E100. Its cost is only $ 5,600, taking into account subsidies, writes Electrek. The double electric vehicle Baojun E100, released by the joint venture SAIC-GM-Wuling, claims to be the cheapest electric vehicle in China. Its cost, depending on the size of regional subsidies ranges from $ 5.6 to $ 9.3 thousand Baojun E100 - a very small car. It has a length of 2.4 m, a width of 1.5 m and a height of 1.6 m. It is equipped with a 29 kW electric motor and can drive 155 km on one battery charge. The model has become particularly popular in regions that subsidize cars with zero emissions. Last year, it was first introduced in the city of Liuzhou, where its cost, including all subsidies, was only $ 5,600. Due to the low price in just five months 11 446 cars were sold - Baojun E100 became one of the best-selling cars in the city.

Today, the manufacturers announced that they are expanding sales to several more cities in the Guangxi region. Its cost will be from $ 7.2 to $ 9.3 thousand. The E100 would have a real chance to deservedly get the title of national electric car. The problem is that it will not leave China. And in the same States GM is going to compete with Model 3 with its Chevy Bolt, which is already selling from $ 30 thousand.
