Mazda officially opened the order books on its new Mazda EZ-6 EV and EREV versions of the car in China yesterday. And the starting price? It’s under $25,000.
Co-developed by Mazda and Chinese state-owned Changan Auto, the EZ-6 was one of two new electric offerings that debuted back in April. The other was a CX-5/0-sized crossover called the Arata, but the EZ-6 seemed closer to production, with a promised on-sale date later this year.
Sorry can’t do, we already heavily subsidize the procurement and protection of oil exploration and drilling, oil production companies and oil states. Moving some of those $$ to domestic production of new or green technologies is a non starter.
