In Mexico, the Chang Li S1 Pro It has become a sensation on social networks where it has become the protagonist of endless reels and publications. And it is not precisely because it is a car with a magnificent design or high performance, since, in reality, it is a tiny electric car that has become a celebrity thanks to its low acquisition cost of around 20 thousand Mexican pesos A bargain for a new car!
If you are thinking of running out to look for one of these cars in those “small subscription” stores, let me tell you, that at least for now, your purchase can only be done through ecommerce platforms such as Alibaba, Aliexpress or Mercado Libre .
In all these platforms the price is around $20 thousand pesos. And it is that while in Mercado Libre, the seller’s price is fixed, in Alibaba and Aliexpress is variable, since you can configure with some extras that raise the cost.
In addition, you also have to consider other expenses such as tariffs and shipping cost. Which varies according to the state of the Republic where you reside.
According to the mechanical section, we have that the small Chang Li S1 Pro uses an electric motor that is powered by a 60 volt battery. According to the manufacturer, the charging time is from 4 to 8 hours through a 110 v charger. The autonomy is from 50 to 70 kilometers. While the maximum speed is 30 to 40 km/h.
As for equipment, you can mount air conditioning elements, AM / FM radio, USB port, reversing camera and more seats or doors. Regarding security, it is limited to pointing out that it has disc brakes on all four wheels.
The concept of this Chang Li S1 Pro is close to the “cars without a license” used in Europe. Which, like this car, its use is eminently urban and are designed to travel on low-speed roads.
With this in mind, we have that it is a vehicle that it is far from complying with the security requirements stipulated in the Official Mexican Standard (NOM) 194. Therefore, it would be best to classify it in the motorcar segment.
Surely the experience aboard this car would be the equivalent of traveling in a Power Wheels for adults. Do not expect good materials, beyond an interior abundant in plastics. Of course, it could represent an interesting mobility solution for transfers over short distances. Now the most important question would you buy it? I already imagined myself going for the errand in a Chan Li S1 Pro.
