There’s a sense of humor to summer, a deeply ingrained belief that it’s a time when rules not only can be broken but should be. The brand's Paula’s Ibiza collection can take you from the beach to the beach house party with enough juice to get you on the list, plus one.
Starting at just 9,999 Euros (or a little over the U.S. equivalent of $12,000), the Dartz FreZe Nikrob is aiming to become the least expensive way to get into an electric vehicle in Europe.
The two-door city car will be good for up to 200 km (124 miles) on a charge and will seat four. And with its sub-10-grand starting price, it will be about 10 grand less than a Smart EQ Fortwo. You could get a Renault Twizy for less, but maybe Dartz doesn’t count it because it doesn’t have doors and is a microcar.
The FreZe Nikrob, meanwhile, will be based on the Wuling Mini-EV, which sells for the equivalent of $4,500 in China. Based on the camouflaged press photos Dartz has shared with us, the Nikrob shouldn’t be a massive departure in terms of looks.
