      Thanks that explains it, with 13 kW it’s much more plausible.
      3.5 kW is simply not enough for the claimed performance.
      I searched for if something else is 3.5 or 3,5, but that number does not appear at all on the official page.
      Weird typo, and also weird that nobody caught it? It simply doesn’t make sense.

        Yes, it is obviously a typo. For reference, GM’s tiniest EV, the compliance-car SparkEV (2014-2017?16?) can dump over 120kW into the front wheels. While that is ridiculous and basically unusable if you like traction, the car only has a 19kWh battery and seats 4. Sure they were just learning but it’s tiny and uses about 11kW on average outside of winter.

        Edit, forgot EV torque: yes with only 13kW but speed limit of 50kph it probably can go uphill with a typical passenger load at speed.
