Yes, compared to even my 2013 Leaf's 80kw motor it's a toy. But I look at this as a starting point. They were at ground zero, and now they have engineering experience, a manufacturing operation, and a finished working product to improve upon.
Turns out it at least has a 13 kW engine, the article is wrong on that point.
Still not a lot, but at least that makes the performance claims much more likely.
It's just below the power rating of the 1960-70 rear engine Fiat hatchbacks. Given it's an electric motor, it should do adequately.
Yes with 13, not if it only had 3.5.
Yes, 13kw makes a LOT more sense. That's a little more than half my original Leaf's capacity.
