Alt Cat Expo 2007: OKA, the cheap, inexpensive, not pricey NEV
Filed under: EV/Plug-in, AutoblogGreen Exclusive, Santa Monica Alt Car Expo, Green Daily
The OKA NEV booth at the Santa Monica Alt Car Expo caught people's attention for one simple reason: a price tag of $7,500. The OKA neighborhood electric vehicle is an interesting little car - seriously unhip, cheap and ready for you today. The details are not that great - 20 mile range, 25 mph top speed - but there's reason to believe that Miro Kefurt is on to something here. Make is simple and sell it today. He tells it best, so watch the video to hear the history of how this successor to the Yugo ended up as a zero-emission vehicle in the U.S. There's more information on the car here.
UPDATE: Thanks to reader jg3, I've added a video of the Lada OKA's crash test after the jump.
