MINCAR Model K Electric City Car 3 Door 2 Seat
The Model K is the smallest and lightest vehicle in the MINCAR range, and it is designed around a simple premise: if you drive alone or as a pair, you should not have to buy a four-seat car to do it. At 2920 mm long and 690 kg kerb weight, it is genuinely small, and it turns on a standard city street without any drama.
Two doors, two seats, a 15 kW.h lithium iron phosphate pack and a 72 V system. That combination returns a 260 km NEDC range, which is remarkable for the pack size, and the car charges in about eight hours from a household socket with no fast charging required.
The turning circle is 8.3 metres against 9.8 metres for the five-door models, and the ground clearance is 200 mm, so it handles tight urban parking and rough surfaces equally well. It comes with one-touch start, which is the detail that tells you what kind of vehicle this is.
Two seats, one door each side, and 260 km on a 15 kW.h pack. For one or two people in a city, there is nothing wasted.
01
Two seats used properly
The cabin is not a shortened four-seat car with the rear row deleted. It is laid out for two occupants, with full front-seat space and a straightforward cargo area behind.
The boot interior measures 850 mm long, 1100 mm wide and 1000 mm high, which is enough for weekly shopping, luggage for two, or a small run of deliveries.

02
260 km from a 15 kW.h pack
The 72 V, 15 kW.h lithium iron phosphate pack is the smallest in the range, but the 690 kg car does not have to carry it around any higher than necessary.
The result is 260 km NEDC, which is the longest range-per-kilowatt-hour pairing in the range and the reason this model exists.

03
8.3 metre turning circle
The shortest turning diameter in the range at 8.3 metres, against 9.8 metres for the five-door models. In a European city or a dense Asian market, that is a real practical difference.
With 200 mm of ground clearance and a 20 percent climbable gradient, the same car handles broken tarmac, ramps and unmade entrances.

A small car for the commute or the shopping run that avoids using the main family vehicle daily.
Campus and estate patrolling
Site security, facilities and estate patrolling where a tight turning circle matters more than capacity.
Car sharing in dense cities
Shared urban vehicles where a small footprint and low purchase cost are the deciding factors.

FAQ
Model K questions
Is the Model K a two-seat car?
Yes. The Model K is a three-door, two-seat city car. If you need four seats and five doors, that is the Model C, C Pro, D or D Pro.
What is the top speed?
70 km/h. The Model K is a low-speed urban vehicle, which is why its focus is on range and efficiency rather than motorway use.
Is the Model K road legal in Europe?
A 70 km/h class vehicle has different registration rules from a 100 km/h car in most European markets. EU complete vehicle certification is available, but the specific homologation for a 70 km/h light vehicle should be confirmed against your destination market before ordering.
What is the cargo capacity?
The boot interior measures 850 mm long, 1100 mm wide and 1000 mm high. It is sized for two people, not for a family.
Does the Model K have airbags?
Airbags are available as an option on this model, and fitment depends on the hand of drive. ABS and EBD are not fitted on this trim. If safety equipment is a priority, the Model E is worth comparing.
How long does charging take?
Approximately eight hours for a full charge from a standard 220 V household socket. There is no fast-charge version.
Can I have left-hand or right-hand drive?
Both are available. The hand of drive is confirmed at order because equipment fitment differs between them.
What colours are available?
Eight colourways are offered, with a two-tone body available as an option. Personalised colour matching can be discussed against a minimum order quantity.
Should I buy the Model K or the Model E instead?
The Model E is the same two-seat body with a larger 115 V, 18 kW.h battery, a 30 kW motor, 100 km/h top speed and the full ABS, EBD and tyre pressure monitoring suite. The K is faster to charge-free range and cheaper. If you need to leave the city or want the full safety suite, the E is the stronger choice.
