As far as I can tell, it has every feature you’re saying is responsible for western automakers charging around 6 times the cost of this car… sans heated seats and purported safety standards.
Chevy charges an additional $1K for the package that adds heated seats to their Bolt EV.
So, am I to take you at face value that you’re inferring that safety concerns and standards are responsible for the remainder of the price gouging?

You can get a golf kart with tye same accessories. Safety, reliability, and quality are a big part of the cost. So is profit.
A 5k car is a golf cart with doors.
