Levdeo was founded in 2008, and is based in Shandong. It was originally a low-speed electric vehicle company that produced Neighborhood Electric Vehicles.
In January 2019, Levdeo acquired Yema Auto in order to enter the full size electric vehicle market. Levdeo revealed plans to strategically reorganized it, with plans to launch electric vehicles built on existing Yemo gasoline vehicle platforms and upgraded low-speed electric vehicle platforms under the newly launched Letin brand.[1]
Levdeo launched the i3 under the Letin brand in 2019. The i3 is available in 3 variants, the i3 Base, i3 K-version, and the i3 Comfort. Its dimensions measure 3420 mm × 1500 mm × 1570 mm, and a wheelbase of 2297 mm, with a kerb weight of 830 kg. It takes 9 hours to fully charge.[2] The base price is ¥62,800.[3]
The i5 was also launched under the Letin brand in 2019. It is available as the i5 Base model and the i5 Comfort model. It measures 4055 mm × 1630 mm × 1510 mm. The wheelbase is 2400 mm and its weight is 1010 kg. Its base price is ¥75,800.[4]
Levdeo's third vehicle was the Letin i9, which was launched in 2020 based on the same platform as the Yema T60 (博骏, Bojun), or essentially a rebadged Yema EC60. Its dimensions are 4360 mm × 1830 mm × 1660 mm, a wheelbase of 2550 mm, and a kerb weight of 1510 kg. It takes 7 hours to charge fully. It costs ¥115,800.[5][6]
All of these models have since been discontinued in the Chinese market, with their lineup reduced to the newer Mengo and Mengo Pro hatchbacks.
