    A couple of things

    A: That 300 mile range might be NEDC which is really optimistic (think pre-2006 EPA).
    B: It's pronouced "Chi-Anne Tu". I know we tend to have issues with Q and Z sounding Chinese words. (which Google Translate says it means "Future")

    It passes the requirements to import as an nev

    too bad importing doubles the price

    Also unfortunate is the lack of the only important spec, battery size.

    Unless the car is extremely streamlined beyond anything on the market the 1700lb weight means at most 24kwhr of battery with a real world 100miles

    Unless it’s a historical “lead sled” with a 600lb carbon fiber chassis it’s extremely unlikely to have a larger pack.
