Selling my TJ for a iCar v23 (EV from China)

Pics of the turbo would be great!! I can’t even imagine how that works?

it FEELS turbocharged. there is no turbo charger in there, like with a gasoline engine, since the EV engine is already 10 times stronger ;-)

Let the poor feller enjoy his new ride, turbocharged or not. Y'all are buzz-killers!

Don’t you want to see the electric turbo charger? Cmon man

feels like a TJ on steroids. drives much more comfortable, turbocharged, and absolutely quiet. acceleration is sick. 100% electric. 4 wheel drive. driving possition and view is exactly the same - even the square side mirrors. I love that thing already. turning radius is also like half of the TJ.

Congrats. Sounds perfect for your situation. I'm curious to know how the sale of your TJ goes. Market prices there sound insane.

Thats a sick looking rig. Seems like it fits your use case well. I look forward to hearing more about it!

If you can pop the top off, it would win me over

If I could buy a cool EV for $20k I would totally do it. I do a 300 mile round trip to work HQ once a week but the hotel I stay at has a couple of chargers and I bet I could talk my employer into putting a couple in as well.

Just funnin with you. When I worked for my living and the Chevy volt came out I wanted it for a second car and daily driver. When I saw the price tag of $40,000 that was a big hell no. Retirement I don’t drive enough to even keep the battery charged.

I saw that they had an open roof option at shows.. not sure if actually available in china, but china has way more options than Thiland anyways.... but in my case I'm actually happy with a solid roof, that protects me from the harsh sun.. plus a AC thats cold in seconds.. and even seat ventilation

they even made a fully open version, but not sure if it will ever go into production for real - likely only available in china then too...

I sold it (within three days, posting it in a local fb group) for about $44.000 and the new iCar was about $27.000 plus $2.000 for wheels and tires
