Chinese joint venture making the EV Model T?

The world's number one selling EV is the Tesla 'Model Three' but China's Wuling Hong Guang Mini model made in a joint venture; SAIC Motor, Liuzhou Wuling Motors, and General Motors is the second-highest selling model. As China's top selling EV, the most democraticizing fact is that the base model Hong Guang Mini costs an eighth of a fraction to the cheapest Tesla Model 3. It has a (2020) price starting at $4,162 and fully-optioned out at $5,607, making it one of China's cheapest EV. They have in the works to make even more affordable models. Its standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, tire pressure monitoring sensors, and rear parking sensors. It also has standard features, including air conditioning, power windows, stereo system, 12 storage compartments and 741 liters of trunk space with the rear seats folded down. The all-electric four-seat city car has top speeds of 62 mph and an estimated cruising range of 120 km. Its single electric motor produces 13 kW (17.4 hp) and 62.7 pound-feet of torque for rear wheel drive. There are talks to have it licensed-built in other countries.
