The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.
The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.
I wonder if this is being aimed at a replacement for the ubiquitous bocho, or original VW bug, that still dominates the intracity car fleets of the many smaller cities and towns in the mountains Central region. If it’s rear wheel drive that’s my guess, those things only ever go on nigh-vertical narrow cobblestone roads in dense urban environments so low range and slow speeds won’t matter at all.
