Zotye E20
[edit]The Zotye E20 is a variant of the D2 that Zhidou makes for Zotye Automotive.[4] The Zotye E20 was originally unveiled as a pre-production concept car during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in April 2014, at a price of 108,800 yuan ($17,700) without subsidies.[citation needed]
The Zotye E20 is powered by an electric motor producing 24 hp (18 kW) and 82 N⋅m (60 lbf⋅ft) of torque.[citation needed] The top speed of the Zotye E20 is 80 km/h (50 mph),[4] and the electric range of the E20 is 120 km (75 mi).[citation needed]
Charging for the Zotye E20 is six hours on a 220V power source for a full charge, and 20 minutes on a fast charger for an 80% charge.
Green energy subsidies from central and local government in China brings the price down to 48,800 yuan ($7,944), which is a total subsidy of 60,000 yuan ($9,760).[10]
