Compliments to you on your thread title !

I could see myself in one of those. That is the first time I have said that about an electric car.

There is no way that will pass modern pedestrian or crash safety standards. Looking at the finish, it looks like someone built it by buying generic car bits off AliExpress.

Looks like they used an old IZH/Moskvich, and knowning Russian build quality, will probably fry you if you touch the door handle

It looks dreadful, therefore guaranteed to be the first true AS electric car to be admired in future years.

[Faker]

That's proper cool looking

Looks like it's running bog standard suspension up front on cut springs. There grille gives it a "stretched mk2 Escort" look.

 

Wonder how it behaves at high speed*? Looks like the front end would create all kinds of odd pressure zones.

 

I'm worried more by the RoboCop ED-209 contraption they have in the article outside their factory...
