MiBoT EV: Electric cars are making huge waves in India and overseas. In Japan, to be specific, small EVs are highly sought after because they are affordable and have great mileage. And now, another new electric car has made big waves. KG Motors, a Japanese company, has introduced the MiBoT EV—a one-seater small electric vehicle that is making waves and even posing a threat to behemoths like Toyota.
MiBoT EV Design and Interior
MiBoT EV is an ultra-miniature, single-seater vehicle that is very much like a golf cart. Despite its tiny size, it’s filled with all necessary features. Its bright color varieties make it appealing to the eyes, and its sleek design is ideal for city commutes on a daily basis. Its slender form makes it a unique mobility option for crowded roads.
Key Features of MiBoT EV
- Driving range of 100 kilometers on a full charge
- Takes just 4 hours to fully charge
- Top speed of 60 km/h
- Priced around ₹6 lakh (approx. $7,000)
- Compact single-seater configuration
- Stylish exterior similar to a golf cart
- Comes in multiple color variants
Challenging Toyota in Its Own Market
The MiBoT EV has already broken expectations in Japan. While Toyota managed to sell just 2,000 electric cars in Japan last year, MiBoT has seen 2,250 pre-orders even before it has started production. This is definitely an indication of how this budget mini EV is changing the game and becoming a stiff competitor for even the largest car manufacturers.
Production and Delivery Timeline
KG Motors will start producing the MiBoT EV in October this year. A newcomer, the car has already gathered 2,250 pre-orders already. Deliveries are predicted to start in 2027, and the company plans to manufacture 10,000 units each year. The massive early interest shows high faith in the success of the product.
Emphasis on Small Towns and Rural Customers
The MiBoT EV is targeted mainly towards individuals residing in smaller towns and rural districts. Such areas usually have limited transportation means, and a small, low-cost EV like this one has the potential to make a fantastic option. KG Motors is working to make the vehicle available to a wider audience that usually does not enjoy easy access to private electric vehicles.
