Electric vehicles are known for their quiet ride and quick acceleration. Exact figures for range, charging capacity, and battery size vary by version, so it's worth checking these in the specific offer.
Transmission

What to check when buying a Lafa 5
Check that the car is officially intended for the European market, as documented by its warranty and where you will receive servicing. This is crucial, as such cars are still relatively new in Lithuania.
Request a battery condition report or at least the warranty terms. Check if the charging cables are included, if all software functions work, and if the car has no painted-over or repaired parts.
Ensure you have charging capabilities at home or at work, as daily use of an electric vehicle heavily depends on it.
