Electric car startup Uniti has announced the price of its small crowdfunded electric car, the Uniti One, which starts at €17,767 (~$19,600), and updated the specs.
With prices starting from just £15,100 (after £3,500 UK Government subsidy) the Uniti One offers a revolutionary new platform for affordable and sustainable mobility.
In Europe, it starts at €17,767 before VAT or any government incentives.
That’s about what Uniti announced before, but now they say it’s for a version of the vehicle with only a 12 kWh battery pack [good for 150 km/93 miles range].
If you want the bigger battery pack [22 kWh] for 300 km of range, you need to pay €20,567 ($22,700), and you have to add another €2,800 for the DC fast-charging for a total of €23,367 ($25,800).
They claim that they can achieve a range of 300 km (186 miles) on such a small battery pack due to the vehicle’s size and weight.
As for the performance specs, Uniti wrote in a press release:
"Perfectly suited to the urban environment, the Uniti One accelerates from 0-50 km/h (0-31 mph) in 4.1 seconds and 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 9.9 seconds, before reaching its top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), where permitted and conditions allow."
Uniti says that the first deliveries are planned in Sweden and the UK for mid-2020.
It's a clever design as the aerial view below shows. The driver's seat is in the middle, so no re-configuring for driving on different sides of the road, and the back seat allows for two adults, or can be folded down to offer lots of additional storage space, increasing luggage space from 155 litres to 760 litres.

Not all EVs sold over the next ten years will be Teslas. Many will be small city cars like this. Some will be VWs, now that VW really is taking the EV revolution seriously. And most of the rest will be Chinese.
