$7k single-seat electric car has become a hit in Japan

10 months ago

A Japanese startup, KG Motors, is developing a small, affordable electric vehicle (EV) in Hiroshima.
Their one-seater EV resembles a futuristic golf cart and has already pre-sold over half of the planned 3,300 units by March 2027.
KG Motors is on track to outsell Toyota in Japan's EV market, challenging the notion that bigger cars are better.
EVs are still uncommon in Japan, making KG Motors' approach unique and disruptive.
