The Olinia Uno is a planned six-passenger car that can travel up to 125 kilometers (77 miles) on a single charge. It is expected to go on sale next summer for about 150,000 Mexican pesos or roughly $8,500, according to a press release.

The car is designed for urban settings and has a top speed of 50 kilometers (31 miles) per hour.

You know where had some of the world's highest vehicle safety standards? France.

You know what you see everywhere in France?

The Citroen Ami is not a car, it's legally a quadricycle, and thus exempt from safety laws for proper vehicles.

You can buy these covered Rascal scooters cheap, it doesn't make them cars.

Wait, do you actually see the Ami everywhere in France? That's brilliant if true.
