Meet another Norwegian EV: The Buddy
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, Europe/EU
Buddy is a Norwegian company that is building EVs. Their model, the Kewet Buddy is one of the cheapest EVs in the market, thanks to it's off-the shelf components with "little emphasis on additional equipment and fancy extras", as the website states. The bright side? Fewer components means fewer parts to break.
The current generation seats three adults and "two cases of beers or 6-8 bags of groceries" and is suitable for city use, thanks to its compact size. The company also claims that the model works both in cold and warm countries, although they state that it's only on sale in Norway. It's got regenerative braking. The range: from 50 to 100 km with lead-acid batteries or 100 to 150 with Lithium-ion. Full specs after the jump.
