Check Out These Five New Electric Cars From China, World's Largest EV Market Unlike in the West, Chinese manufacturers are aiming for ordinary car owners. We need far more competition in this segment of the market. For example the BenBen is powered by an electric motor with an output of 75hp and 165nm, good for a 125km/h top speed and a range of 200 kilometres. It will hit the market in December for 59,800 yuan ($8600). The Jingyi EV has an electric motor with 120hp and 280nm, top speed is 150 km/h and range is 250 kilometers. It will go on sale in early 2017 for about 120,000 yuan ($17,360). The Qiyun EV (an electric delivery truck) has an electric motor with 100 hp and 240nm, which is a little low. Range is 200 kilometers and max payload 3000 kilo. It has been under development for a while and will finally go on sale next year for some 100,000 yuan ($14,500). These light trucks are dirt cheap in China, a diesel powered example goes for just $9200. See http://ift.tt/2gs8Abg
