Cheap EVs: Does Canada's New Budget EV Come With a Catch?

Canada is getting another affordable EV, the Dongfeng Box 1. But does a low price automatically make it a good deal? The Dongfeng Box 1 promises to bring a lower-cost electric vehicle to Canadian buyers, but when you look beyond the price tag, there are some significant compromises. Lower power, slower Level 2 and DC fast charging, and no heat pump could make this EV a tougher sell in Canada — especially when established alternatives like the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan LEAF may not cost much more. In this video, I take a closer look at what the Dongfeng Box 1 actually offers, where its technology falls behind many of today's EVs, and the big question: How cheap does it need to be to make sense for Canadian buyers? Is this finally the cheap EV Canada has been waiting for, or does spending a little more get you a much better EV?
