The Zotye is produced at its own plant in China, and uses stampings from
an older Daihatsu model - biggest visual clue is a difference in the
grill. Zotye is a privately-held Chinese manufacturer, and recently
bought controlling interest in JiangNan, another carmaker.

There is nothing to identify Zotye in any way with making an electric
car - including through JiangNan. The model shown on the Spark-EV web
site is clearly the Zotye model RX6400 - here is a link -

There may be an electric Zotye out there, but I cannot find any industry
news about it except coming from Spark-EV.

I tried to call Michael Papp of Spark-EV when I was in Pennsylvania last
August, wanted to take a test drive of one of the other models, but
never got him on the phone.

On the balance, I'm not going to get out my checkbook.

As we say in West Texas latin - Caveat Emptor, y'all.
