Yep starting at less than $12,000 US in China, I can’t imagine a sub-20K MSRP would be entirely out of the question

In these conditions it makes sense that range goes down in winter but for longer drive with a more recent EV it’s not really an issue anymore. I barely noticed any difference in range in winter compared to summer with my EV. I have to admit though that winters are quite mild here.
