That’s my Leapmotor T03 (actually 6 identical ones) gone off on a transporter after four weeks.
And they’ve been OK - about the least dynamic thing you’ll ever drive, it’s soft in ride, roll and pitch, and with low geared steering, but at least it rides pretty well.
Efficiency has hovered around 5 miles per kW/h, it’ll keep up with traffic around town, and there’s a button on the steering wheel which, when pressed twice, puts the car into ‘Quiet Mode’ in that it silences most of the proliferation of bings, bongs & beeps.
It’d be the world’s worst getaway car - from pressing the Start button to being able to select Drive can take 5-7 seconds whilst it wakes up.
Bit of a shortage of physical buttons, and in this recent weather the necessity to switch on the AC every time the car is started, became irritants.
One front wiper and no rear one, I’d suspect that the range at higher speeds would be compromised. Add to that 55 minutes to charge from 10-80%, it’s an inner city car rather than in inter-city one.
But as ‘My First EV’ it’s great value as 3.6 metres of getting from A-B.
