I love the concept. micro cars do come with a disadvantage. a large vehicle can be very dangerous to a micro car. people don't care about you. its good for local driving, neighborhood low speed areas.
when some con artist are trying to convince you about a deal that doesn't make any sense..a concept that cost miliards in infrastructures, ..1h autonomie...and almost no Lithium. I think this way it's definatly easier to keep us in a 15 min city
With the possible exception of the Aptera (not in production as of 2024) none of these "city cars" shown are capable of US highway speeds. They all state maximum speed limitations of 90-100 kph. This is less than the common 65mph speed limit and far short of the 75-80mph which would be an allowable compromise in most states. While I wouldn't mind having a two-seat electric vehicle, I wouldn't be able to use it where I live to go to my local airport or drive from my home in the suburbs to the downtown area without getting on a beltway/freeway. Unless someone produces a highway-capable small vehicle, their US market is very restricted.
@@bobhellman8676 Totally agree with you, Bob! I've been watching the Aptera but by the time it's available there will be Model 2s or Chinese sedans available with four wheels, a smaller footprint, and at half the Aptera's purchase price. I was just pointing out it was the only vehicle in the video that would hit desired highway speeds. It will be an expensive eco-mobile for people who want an eye-catching vehicle and not an economical alternative.
@@kaischmelzle547 Which one? The gasoline powered 500 (Abarth) was a fun little car to zip around in, but they are notoriously badly constructed and failure prone. I mean, stuff like door handles and arm rests breaking off and side window motors that fail if you close the door too hard. There's a newer 500e, the little electric Fiat. While the quality is reported to be slightly better (maybe because it's new?) it only has about 150 miles of range and it costs $34,000+ in the US. Some people are leasing them but nobody is buying them for that price. If they were under $20K they might have a few takers. Recently Fiat closed down the production line (don't know if it will reopen) because Stellantis is in dire financial straits, which is affecting Fiat, Jeep, Chrysler, etc., so you might not be able to get one. I've driven many Fiats. No desire ever to own one.
This video is not at all up to date. The Renault Twizzy has been phased out and with the exception of the overpriced Microlino, all others are not available.
everything is fine, but in winter the electric car needs a lot of electricity, for lights because in winter it gets dark quickly, for heating, if you have uphill roads, and in winter the batteries run out very quickly here in my country some people wanted to spend Christmas in a mountain village, it is traditional here, and they said to the reporters, we were here in the summer and everything was fine, we arrived here without any problems, unfortunately many cars were left on the road with empty batteries, so it's worth considering, I think we are not ready for electric cars, at least not naked electric, hybrid OK
Pls don't forget Biro and Tazzari, amazing small EVs from Italy.
Thanks for Your feedback!
Mieux qu'une motos 🏍️ a deux roues. Des merveilles anges 🚗🚙😍✌️
Thanks for Your feedback!
Not worth watching. Out dated, full of missinfo, and a waste of time.

Have you seen the Fiat500?

We can't generate enough electricity to supply our daily needs and all these electric vehicles ......Seems we put the cart before the horse .
The "BLOW YOUR MIND" crap is a huge turnoff HUGE.....
Import.thailandnow😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Would be nice if somewhere in this video we'd find out that other than the Fiat, none of these vehicles can be driven in the U.S. on ANY roads.
where are those Chinese small EV, they make more sense for value! eg. BYD
Hepsi birbirinden güzel hepsi şehiriçi kullanım için harika..
Fiyatta uygun ise neden olmasın..
Thanks for your feedback!
DISCULPA pero te FALTA los PRECIO. Q es lo PRONCIPAL y en donde ESTAN x q así es sólo una bla bla bla
Without prices and local availability this is a waste of time.

And no prices quoted either!
The illustrators thumbnail do a better concept then the designers
