Some manufacturers are out to prove that electric-vehicle ownership doesn’t have to make wallets explode. A good example is the Dongfeng Nanobox, a feature-packed city runabout that retails for P888,000. If that sticker price is already attractive, it’s about to get even better.

Cash buyers will get an upfront discount of P150,000. Alternatively, financing clients will only need to shell out a P48,000 all-in down payment that includes a free 7kW wall charger. These are good deals considering that the Nanobox’s running costs do not come with the price of fuel at the pump.

It’s decently equipped, too. The Nanobox seats five and comes with features like a 10-inch infotainment screen and a reversing camera. Estimated endurance is a generous 331km. Included in the package is a five-year (or 150,000km) vehicle warranty and an eight-year (or 170,000km) battery warranty.

You can get up close and personal with the Nanobox at Dongfeng’s Pasig, Alabang, Cavite, Marcos Highway, Pampanga, and Tarlac outlets. You can also drop a message via [email protected] or call (0917) 307-9811 for more details.
