    An entry-model will cost CHF149 per month (about €156 or $169) to lease starting this summer

    While I highly appreciate smaller cars or alternative car-like vehicles, this feels quite expensive to me. You can get full sized cars (mostly fuel based though) for less than that. Of course, it’s not fair to compare a small start up with the special deals of the big manufacturers but I think the majority of people will do just that.

    With the base 5.5kWh battery it’ll go about 100km before needing a charge or even up to 177km max for those opting for the larger 11kWh battery pack.

    While this consumption is less than 50% of the most efficient EVs known to me (Ionic, Ionic 6, Model 3, e-Up), it still feels like a lot for a microcar of that size that runs only 45 km/h. An e-bike consumes approximately 0.5-0.7 kWh per 100 km/h.
