Chinese vehicles work great for NEV's my chinese ZX40 in all honesty is just fine as a regular car, it even has the Dodge like dash crack and seat fade issues.

Too bad they wouldn't take a small light unit and offer it quicker, chinese make spartan simple vehicles OK (aka mechanical everything with leaf springs) but start to fail as soon as anything like a digital panel start to come into the picture.

i figure the only way the chinese could sell something here successfully would be if they offered exactly what i mention in the first post and keep everything very mechanical and simple, some of their companies (cough daihatsu) can handle that at least. And they would find a neglected market if they can keep the price down.
