That's kind of pitiful - $15k (I assume not including glider) for such a pathetically limited EV. Regrettably Argentina is a benighted nation. IIRC a year or two ago they reduced their punitive vehicle tax (I think 55%) to something like 5% on EVs, but I don't get the impression that many importers are taking advantage of that. If the Argentinean government really wanted EVs, they could have lots of choices of more or less functional production EVs under $15k from various Chinese manufacturers. Heck, the Chinese-made Renault K-ZE sells for around $9500 in China, would probably go for (guessing) $12k in Argentina, and it has 190km of range. No 8-month conversion project required, either.
