Inside the cabin instead of the standard switch is a large touch screen display, by means of which there will be the choice of different functions.

Note that fast-growing Chinese car market is becoming more focused on just electric cars. The corresponding rate was chosen a few years ago. For example, in 2015, it sold much more Chinese electric cars than in 2014. In particular, the Chinese carmaker of BYD, whose sales last year were more than Tesla and Nissan, is planning in 2016 to put into the Chinese market three times as many vehicles with electric and hybrid power plants.
The domestic market for Chinese automakers is the most promising, since the country is actively building the infrastructure for such transport, and government also stimulates the owners by electric additional programs.
