What safety features does the CT-2 vehicle offer?

What are the benefits of the CT-2 electric car?
The CT-2 electric car has several advantages over conventional cars, especially in crowded and congested cities. Some of these benefits are as follows.
Space-saving: The car can fold itself to park like a motorcycle and occupy less than a quarter of a standard parking spot, allowing up to four vehicles to fit in one space. This reduces the need for parking infrastructure and frees up space for other uses. The car can also drive through narrow alleys and lanes inaccessible to larger vehicles, avoiding traffic jams and saving time.

What are the challenges of the CT-2 electric car?
The CT-2 electric car is not without its limitations. It is not suitable for long-distance travel, as it has a range of 112 miles that drops to 74 miles with air conditioning on. Another challenge is the lack of infrastructure and regulations for folding cars. The car may also encounter difficulties accessing charging stations, as they may not be compatible with its size and shape.
How much will the CT-2 electric car cost?
The CT-2 electric car is expected to cost about $19,000 and has already captured attention, especially among first responders. One thousand orders have been placed for medical emergency crews. An additional 1,000 orders from around the globe are in the pipeline. Production is set to commence in Italy, and City Transformer aims for a public release in July.
City Transformer is projected to enter mass production in the latter half of 2025. They tell us they plan to start delivering vehicles to our first customers towards the end of 2025.
