Shuanghuan showed an electric Noble in Beijing. It is yet a concept but one spokesman told me it would be on the market before the end of the year. The Noble is a copy of the Smart and actually really crap, but for only 30.000 yuan one can’t complain too much. The electric Noble will likely be a bit more expensive but with the green-power subsidy from the Chinese government it might end up being even cheaper than the standard car.
