but it appears electric vehicles are getting cheaper all of the time,
of course you still have to close your eyes about the appalling child labour that goes into producing EVs but if you are OK about child labour and do not mind exploiting them here is a cheap EV for you, the Xian Mangia, it is a fully functional electric double-cabin
truck that not only costs under $3,000, but by cutting out dealers and their profits can
also be shipped right to your doorstep,
the Xian Mangia can be ordered online from Chinese shopping
giant Alibaba, for just $2,920 and will arrive at your door in 15 – 20 days .
It weighs between 680 kg and 785 kg, depending on the accessories you opt for,
and measures 3750mm x 1450mm x 1600mm. The standard Xian Mangia is a bare-bone
electric vehicle, it does not have air conditioning or heating, but if you’d
like them included, you can pay an extra $320 for them, as for performance it
has a top speed of 55 km/h (34 mph) and ≤100Nm of torque, in terms of range,
the manufacturer claims the standard battery is good for about 80 km, more than
enough to get to the shops and back, but you can get better range by upgrading
to a better, more expensive battery,
but before you order yourself aMangia electric pickup truck, you should probably check if it’s actually
road-worthy, as it is lacking some very basic options, like airbags, 3-point seat belts,
etc, so better make sure it is road compliant in your country before ordering,
but what a neat little truck if you have a private estate, and if you have a few friends they are cheaper if you order10!
