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.

It goes 50 kph, which is the speed limit in many cities. It's clearly aimed at people who need a city car and won't be taking it on the freeway.

No. I get it. But phrasing it that way made me think. Ooo, cool new electric car. Like BYD. But in my opinion, not a car. More like a golf cart or as they are calling them here, neighborhood electric vehicle.
