Wink Motors CEO Talks Tiny EVs on The Car Doctor
Does your next around-town errand really need a two-ton SUV? That question is at the heart of the latest episode of The Car Doctor Podcast, where host John Paul, AAA Northeast’s Car Doctor and a longtime New England automotive journalist, sits down with Mark Dweck, the founder and CEO of Wink Motors.
Wink Motors, based in New York City, builds low-speed electric vehicles designed for neighborhood driving. In the interview, Dweck walks through the thinking behind the company and its lineup, including the Wink Mark III, a low-speed electric vehicle that is more like a traditional car than an upfitted golf cart. With real doors, climate control, power windows, and power locks, it delivers the comfort and convenience of a full-size car in a smaller, neighborhood-friendly package.
The conversation covers where vehicles like these fit in, from village centers and beach communities to campuses and retirement communities, and what it takes for a small startup to bring a street-legal microcar to American roads. Later in the episode, John Paul also shares his review of the three-row Hyundai Ioniq 9 electric SUV, spanning the full spectrum of EVs from neighborhood runabout to family hauler.
