China Just Announced Another Low-Cost Electric Car Model. The Model Costs R$ 55,000 and Can Deliver a Range of Up to 250 km.

The Chinese automaker SAIC-GM-Wuling is well-known among those who admire the electric vehicle sector as the “mother” of the successful HongGuang Mini EV, a low-cost electric car from China. Now the company is announcing another vehicle, a hatchback with big ambitions, given that its big secret lies in the starting price of approximately 70,000 yuan, equivalent to R$ 53,500 in direct conversion.

The cheap electric car, called Wuling Bing, is a super cheap hatchback that can carry up to 4 people. The vehicle will hit the Chinese market between late February and early March and will focus on winning over local drivers due to a series of interesting specifications.

The new creation from Wuling is very small compared to other models, with a length of almost 4 meters, a height of around 1.6 meters, and a width of 1.7 meters, with a wheelbase of 2.56 meters. The vehicle weighs around 1 ton and can therefore cover certain distances without consuming much battery energy.

Wuling Mini EV – The Best-Selling Electric Car in China Hits 1 Million Units

Since its launch in the Chinese market in 2020, the Wuling Mini EV has already surpassed the mark of 1 million units sold. Being the cheapest model in the world to date, the low-cost electric car is also manufactured by SAIC-GM-Wuling, as mentioned earlier, and has proven to be a great success in its home country, gaining recognition for its price, versatility, and energy efficiency.

According to reports, the model had over half a million units licensed in 2020, an increase of 30% compared to previous years. The urban electric vehicle was responsible for 9.5% of all electric car registrations in China during 2020, ranking first.

China Gains Several New Models

The Guangzhou Auto Show last year featured several interesting models, including the Panda Mini EV, a model that enters the zero-emission urban car market in the Asian country. The model was designed and built by Geometry, a sub-brand of the famous Geely.

Although it is compact, the vehicle delivers above-average range. The company has not officially released the complete specifications of the model, but claims it will have a 41 horsepower electric motor mounted on the front axle.

The claimed range of the model is 200 km, significantly higher compared to the average of vehicles sold in the country.

China Gains Several New Models

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.
