The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.

The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

    But why?

    The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

    It sounds like maybe a 25kWh battery? Why can’t it have a real top speed like every other actual car?

      They skimped out on safety and crumple zones in order to make it lighter and cheaper, but that makes it extremely unsafe at high speeds.
