there you got.. electric turbo charger 😅

I sold it (within three days, posting it in a local fb group) for about $44.000 and the new iCar was about $27.000 plus $2.000 for wheels and tires 😬

I saw that they had an open roof option at shows.. not sure if actually available in china, but china has way more options than Thiland anyways.... but in my case I'm actually happy with a solid roof, that protects me from the harsh sun.. plus a AC thats cold in seconds.. and even seat...

it FEELS turbocharged. there is no turbo charger in there, like with a gasoline engine, since the EV engine is already 10 times stronger ;-)

it feels turbocharged, since it has instant torque and no gearbox. is has 211hp but they are instant, so it accelerates like a rocketship. If you have ever driven an EV.

feels like a TJ on steroids. drives much more comfortable, turbocharged, and absolutely quiet. acceleration is sick. 100% electric. 4 wheel drive. driving possition and view is exactly the same - even the square side mirrors. I love that thing already. turning radius is also like half of the TJ.

looks much better with proper tires & wheels...

not my pictures.. just found them on chinese tiktok.. will post TJ vs iCar v23 once I got mine.. probably 2-3 month

I've just fixed my plastic piece, but for some reason now suddenly none of the actuators moving any more. I've had unplugged the vacuum hose on one, to have better access and plugged it in back after... but no none of the actuators move when I turn the knob. It's unlikely that something broke...

yeah and then there is me thinking twice if I really take the "far" 10minutes, 6 miles, trip to the restaurant or rather order food delivery.. 6 miles is probably just getting out the driveway for you over there 😅

Yeah… I live on a small island that's about 8 miles in diameter. The furthest I’ve probably driven in a day is around 15 miles, round trip. 😄 That means if the EV has a 300-mile range, I’d probably only need to charge it once a month. We don’t have any public chargers here, but on a regular...

there is also a pickup truck version, but not sure if they gonna export that one too

I saw a LOT of Australian's comment on articles/youtube reviews of that car, that they all would love it.. it supposedly should come to you next year... and it is an actual 4x4 but max 500km range .. probably not enough for your distances?

I probably gonna get a lot of hate for that… but I’m very likely gonna sell my beloved 2002 TJ after 7 years of “Jeep Life” in exchange for this new EV - the iCar V23 - once available here in Thailand (hopefully within this year). Bought the TJ with 24,000 miles, now at 43,000 miles. Over the...

Nowadays I drive about 1000 miles a Year.. benefit of living on a small island.. avg speed is also 25 mph probably 40 tops.. bought the TJ with 24.000 about 7 years ago and I made it to about 40.000 today.. so yeah in my case is probably mostly heat and UV radiation hitting the side walls...
