context_page_description: The Wheego Whip was an early-2010s limited-production all-electric city car developed as the electric version of the Chinese Noble by Shuanghuan Auto and RTEV. The production version, called Wheego LiFe, was unveiled at the 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show and was sold in the United States at a price of US$32,995 before any applicable tax credits and other incentives.
  The Wheego LiFe was built with a 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack and had an all-electric range of 100 miles.
  The first delivery took place on April 2011 to a customer in Atlanta. A total of approximately 400 units were sold through 2013, when production ceased.
context_section_description: The 2011 Wheego LiFe production model used a 30 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack, could reach speeds up to 65 miles per hour (105 km/h) and Wheego Electric Cars claimed that it had an all-electric range of 100 miles (161 km). The chassis was the same as the Shuanghuan Noble, which once imported from China was reinforced  for safety in the U.S. assembly plant to pass U.S. crash-testing. Final assembly took place in Corona, California. Around 73% of the vehicle was composed of American products giving it a high domestic content rating.
  The first Wheego LiFe was delivered to a customer in Atlanta, Georgia on April 22 (Earth Day), 2011. As of March 2012, the company had manufactured 36 cars since April 2011, and only two cars were left in inventory. Wheego's business strategy was to build the cars only when the company gets money from sales or through venture capital. About 400 units were sold through 2013, when production ended.
