It was the Wuling Hong Guang MINI EV that proved that small electric cars can be extremely popular when priced right, but now better options are available. The LETIN Mengo not only looks much better, it also has better specs.
Nowadays, electric cars like the LETIN Mengo or the Leapmotor T03 make the Dacia Spring - that is also made in China - look grossly overpriced in Europe. Don’t you agree?
