Why is this Chinese electric car the world's best selling car

At the beginning of 2021 tesla model 3 lost its leadership among the best-selling electric vehicles in the world. In this ranking it had to give way to the small chinese hatchback wuling hongwang mini ev,which in just a few months managed to gather a whole army of loyal fans in its homeland. Now how did that happen we will tell you in this review. It’s sales began in july 2020 and within the first 20 days the mini ev manufacturer received 15000 orders for six months. This number increased upto 120000 cars and according to the results during the first two months of 2021,the Chinese baby became the best-selling electric car in the world leaving behind the permanent leader tesla model 3. Such impressive sales dynamics were made possible by the unprecedentedly low price of this electric car.Just over four thousand two hundred dollars in the basic version and about 5.5000 in the improved configuration. For comparison the price of the tesla model 3 in the domestic car market in china is about 42000 which is 10 times more expensive than the mini ev but did the price only provoke explosive interest in the mini ev in the middle kingdom.In fact there are several reasons. First because the chinese had the opportunity to buy either expensive models of electric cars or super cheap electro capsules at a price of about one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars.Surprisingly middle-income chinese and young people started buying this car in masses. Secondly for more than 10 years in china there has been an active campaign to popularize electric vehicles.Since 2010 the government has provided subsidies to buyers of green vehicles although the program has gradually phased out over the years.The chinese have already accepted that electric cars are not exotic but convenient as well as economical. Thus in the country there are state benefits for the purchase of electric vehicles on credit. Discounts are being actively introduced for the payment of parking lots and road tolls. The mini ev falls under all of these programs Thirdly residents of Chinese megalopolises have long shown a demand for a cheap electric car which gives an opportunity to comfortably move through city traffic jams and park in a minimal area. The mini ev was finally able to satisfy the needs of the motorists who do not care about high speed and special comfort but need maneuverability compactness and a sense of their own space in the city.This is how exactly did the mini ev maker managed to get into the heart of chinese motorists. the mini ev really looks like a cube from a children's construction set to which miniature wheels are attached. The technical equipment is quite consistent with this appearance. The 13 kilowatt electric motor produces only 17.4 horsepower and provides a maximum speed of up to 100 kilometers per hour. In busy Chinese metropolises it is not often possible to Accelerate even to 50. Despite its apparent simplicity the mini ev can hardly be called a primitive mini car.The manufacturer did not equip the electric car with steering wheel adjustments. A glove compartment or rear seats with head restraints the trunk of a car is more like a mini safe nevertheless the car is equipped with such useful options as abs,wheel pressure sensors, rear parking sensor,power windows, a stereo system and even air conditioning. The mini EV will certainly continue to break records.China already accounts for 50 percent of all electric vehicle sales globally and by 2035 the government expects electric and hybrid vehicles to account for half of its new vehicle fleet All in all it looks like the mini EV in china has a great future.
