Wheego Whip U.S. sales pushed back to July

Earlier this year, word was that the Wheego Whip was supposed to be available here in the U.S. in May. Looks like July is the new delivery date, so hold on if you want your s
In related news, the vehicle that is used as the basis for the Whip, the Shuanghuan Noble, was just cleared by a Greek court to go on sale in Europe because, ready?, "an informed buyer would not confuse the Noble with the Smart Fortwo." Nah. There's no way you could confuse the two. The Noble has been involved in lawsuits for years.

All those electric cars are a total crock of shit.
They've been promised since donkey's years and they're still not here.
Except from a useless two-seated counterfeit lotus tincan with no boot for 100k USD.

Haven't we see posts about EVs actually selling from Chinese companies already?

Electric or not, the result is still the same. It's a Chinese copy of the Smart. This brings to question: Is it really safe? How does Penske feel about this? Will He and Daimler sue to stop this car before it is unleashed on the streets of the US?
I would be happy to see this car succeed, but it really needs to be a little more original. I think China's auto industry is mature enough to create something original and stop copying other ideas and property.
