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.
Probably a categorisation thing to make them more accessible. In Europe there’s a class of vehicle called Motor Quadricycle which are subject to very relaxed taxes and regulation compared to cars but have to meet very strict regulations about size, speed, capacity, etc. In France they call them San Permits because you literally don’t need a driver’s license to drive one of you were born before 1990, and anyone else aged 14+ only need to have had a minimal training session (those numbers might be a bit odd but you get the idea). A lot of people who simply couldn’t get a license to drive a car can still get one of these - for better or worse.
