Toyota EV van is $20k cheaper than the VW.

VW has one but it's super expensive - the starting price is $60,000.

Just the incredibly expensive ID.Buzz

VW iD Buzz Also, the Chrysler Pacifica did offer a plug in hybrid with 32 miles of EV range, so unless you don't drive that far on a daily basis it was EVnough.

VW took a hiatus with the ID. Buzz for ‘26 but they’re bringing it back for ‘27 at a heavily discounted price

Yeah wonder if they have absurdly dumb van life trims that cost even more. Not gonna look because I will rocket to being the most divorced person on the face of the earth

My next vehicle will be a battery minivan. Fortunately I still have about 10 years left on my ICE van. Either toyota and Honda will have BEV vans by then or Chinese ones will be available in the USA. I hope.

And the hybrid plug in Pacifica is a disaster! Every so often the dashboard tells me to find a safe spot because the engine shut down - yes, on the freeway too. Chrysler has not agreed to fix the issue that appears to be a problem with transition from electric to gas. Can't sell it so I'm stuck.

You sir get Ford F-350's and a cold civil war.

Has been since 1994, look it up

America be like Toxic Masculinity: The Country

One can hope: electrek.co/2026/02/03/k...

It’s coming back to the US for ‘27 at a lower price

More and more reminds me of "V for Vendetta" The US referred to as (but obviously not for the same reasons listed in the movie):

High speed rail AND cheap EVs? Chile, that ain't dabbing, that's a lecture.

So you mean to tell me we let them make us look like dumbasses. Period.

Nah I'm pretty sure the visible-minority of us are making us look like dumbasses quite well on their own.

anyone does anything decent in the world, USAians think it's a personal insult against them.

correction: "land of the free and home of the brave" country

Jajajaja: 'minivan'? En inglés, a eso lo llamamos 'golf cart'. Top speed is 31 MPH. Range - as far as I can tell - isn't even listed. There's a reason for that.

We got to test drive one for a few days and it was SO fun and greeted as we drove down the street like a giant lovable dinosaur. People stopped us everywhere to ask about it. It is real big tho

i saw one parked yesterday, first time seen in the wild

the daily id buzz commute sighting plus the missed buying window combo, peak car longing era

If by "sick" you mean homely and awkward, then it's sick as hell.

So cute, i love it

Claudia is the best

Can you imagine how many people can squeeze into that van? Very cool!

I would buy a new car if I could get one of those. That van looks functional and And cool!

Why must it be so ugly? damn. it looks like an emoji of a car come alive. Don't get me wrong. I totally love it. God's honest truth. I will probably buy one (is it available in Germany). But god damn it I think it's soooo ugly.

Oh the IS is now way behind every developed nation bc this criminal was allowed back in power.

USA is losing in so many ways!! Let f…. Go!!!!!

If by “sick as hell” you mean a genetic mutation then yes, sick as hell.

If they made it holding, say 10 passengers, I cld see it as a city transit vehicle going thru residential areas replacing larger buses that CLD hold 30 ppl, but we only see 6 inside, each time the route passes thru. Smaller transports, more times thru neighbourhoods. Just a thought.

But not us - we’ve got crooks in charge who plan to bleed every one of us dry.

Elon Musk heard about it and this happened

This is what standing at the precipice looks like. Governments are, finally, taking climate change seriously. It is 100% going to take tax dollars to subsidize a sustainable future.

Good. Another way the world is fucking Amerikkka. MORE! Stupid, ignorant and depraved Amerikkkans (a majority of them now) are blissfully ignorant that the whole world now ACTIVELY looks for ways to fuck Amerikkka. I suspect the U.N. is becoming the world's biggest Suggestion Box toward this end.

Thank God we border common sense nations on both borders💙👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❣️❣️❣️

Neither would some Mexican farmer. It's a city car.

Thank you very much for the link. It will be awesome in the Distrito Federal, but not going between cities.

this is a very cute vehicle, I wish it was somehow going to be available in Canada

The price of gas & diesel

What good presidents do...

Great. Except that toy design looks almost ugly enough to be a Cybertruck.

LOL as a fellow Memexican our best offers in indigenous car companies were either foreign designs (VAM/DINALPIN) made locally or privately owned companies (Borgward) that made amazing stuff only to get derailed by the government. Hopefully our scientist präsident doesn't mess this one up.

Oh, look! Here's an article about the prototype that isn't behind a paywall! www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

That does look pretty cool 😎

Has the aroma of the Chinese Belt and Road initiative? Chinese parts, built with Chinese labor, IN Mexico? It fits what China HAS done, elsewhere. IF it IS Mexico alone, they should fix their electrical grid first and/or expand their solar massively. Unless this IS an export plan (like China)...

I thought Lego was Danish

Seems that for urban mobility, even Amazon's self driving taxi had somewhat similar ideas. Mexico's EV conops is primarily urban mobility. Stop & go dense traffic, short distances. The biggest deficit, imo, isn't the 60 mi range but L2 charging, 4 hrs at its fastest. Maybe swappable batteries?

America is being left behind in the EV, solar and wind markets

Looks like a buggy thats used for tourism industry in cities

OMG its ugly

Hey, I’d buy one of those just for the local tasks. (Already got a Volvo EV - our 2nd EV - and never going back to explosion-powered driving)

October 2024:

Sick as deathly pale

Mexico and Canada going it alone. 👍💪

Of course, Trump will put a huge tariff on that.

QUIERO

When we were in Oaxaca 11 years ago we visited all the standard tourist traps and I was _entranced_ by the alibrijes; I wanted to spend ALL THE MONEY on them because they are such amazingly cool little guys.

Absolutely.

@lazytato.bsky.social

So darn cool!

sick as hell is a stretch.

Apparently, Elon is no pissed and vows to fight the release of that vehicle

„Looks sick as hell“ roughly sums-up its appeal…

$4500 US for the one bench seat city senior's car.

We (US) are so screwed up

But not that slow. That's top speed. 😹😹😹😹

Because Trump isn't being bribed by the people who make EVs.

Looks like a nice compact city shoe box car. Well... City, or even island. Could see it working say on the Maldives... Or as a local car on many of the Caribbean islands.

This is what all governments should be doing!!!

this is what Elon was supposed to do and we saw how that turned out for the US. you got space shuttles, microwaves, and the giant wannabe Lego truck

Mexico City is surrounded by mountains and tends to be a pollution basin, so moving everyone who drives to EVs is really a very healthy plan.

Thanx - never use the word myself.

I WANT THIS GIVE ME THE COMMUNIST MEXICO ELECTRIC VAN

We Americans (USA) are 5% of the world's population, yet we think we are all that matters.

We're talking aesthetic luxuries here. Hire a cart, ride a dirt bicycle or a horse. When I had young knees, I did Trenton through the Delaware Valley up the Poconos, down to Dingman's ferry to Stokes State Park to somewhere to Manhattan again. Also, solar is amazingly cheap for home use.

Elon's ugly junk Cybertruck cost: $60,000 - $170,000 Mexico's new EV (the Olinia Uno) cost: $5,000 - $8,600

Government by the people for the people!

Yay! Now we can go to Mexico and bring a cheap Chinese EV back

Oh no no no no they're gonna Jakarta her

Wow she’s really rocking

It's ugly. I love it and want one.

Spent 7 g on 15yr old Subaru to keep it on the road, spent $50 this week on gas. Spent 1200 on wife’s 7 year old Subaru 50000 mil check up 4 spark plugs & cabin filter. Spent 0 on Nissan leaf EV. CAR company’s skipping the lid innovation are going to lose and join buggy whip makers

This looks so much more pretty than anything Elon has ever put out

But its super cute baby cousin lives in France

We have the US regime-backed tesla.

Wow, they've made something that is ever more ugly than the Fiat Multipla.

The world is moving on and up without the USA. So in that regard Trumpism has made that possible.

BRAVA Claudia, Bravo to the People of Mexico

Jesus. President Trump nixed EV so now rest of world is racing ahead of us

It sounds like that’s the plan.
