Remember Rinco Aria? The so-called ‘Made in USA’ electric mini (as claimed by the company) which was introduced in Pakistan earlier this year by Nayyar Motors. We busted the myth about it being American in our earlier post, since the Aria is nothing but a generic EV originating from China and is available for sale on Alibaba.com.
Now the mini electric vehicle has been launched in Thailand labeled as Volt City EV and is distributed by a company called EV Primus. As said earlier, you can order this EV too, and will get a discounted price depending on how large the order is. And for an order of minimum 50 units you will get a customized logo too, the reason why the Rinco Aria adorns a different logo than the one shown on the sample unit at Alibaba website. And thus the Volt City EV wears a different logo too.
Interestingly, the Thai company makes no mention of it being ‘Made in USA’ instead it says the EV was developed by three leading Chinese companies including DongFeng Motor, Zhengzhou Nissan and Beijing Hongrui Automotive Technology. The City EV comes in 4 variants, two 2-door and two 4-door versions, and is backed by 3 years or 80,000 km company warranty. The top variant comes with Premium Deal program including:
5 years or 120,000 km vehicle warranty
Free maintenance at service center for 2 years
Emergency assistance packages and on-site emergency charging
First class insurance for 1 year
20,000 baht discount for Wallbox E-Volt charging box
