The Zotye 5008 full electric suv went on sale in the city of Guangzhou in Guangdong Province. Guangzhou recently launched an ambitious program to become greener and cleaner, one of the ways the city does that is by giving out subsidies for electric cars.
The 5008 costs 210.000 yuan from the factory, after subsidy from the central government 150.000 yuan and Guangzhou’s subsidy makes it only 108.000 yuan for the customer. Guangzhou is also rolling out more EV charging stations around town to keep the electrics riding. Furthermore, the city introduced a lease-program for EV’s under which users can charge for free.
Expect more automakers to send their EV’s to Guangzhou soon…
