Zhido, one of China's earliest electric vehicle (EV) makers, has rolled out a new electric vehicle (EV) model in an attempt to get back in the game after several years of silence.
智道是中国最早的电动汽车（EV）制造商之一，在沉默了几年之后，它推出了新的电动汽车（EV）车型，试图重返市场。
Zhido today launched the Rainbow mini EV, its first model following a re-branding effort, at a time when competition in the sector in China becomes red-hot.
智道今天推出了Rainbow mini EV，这是其品牌重塑后的首款车型，当时中国该领域的竞争变得炙手可热。
Zhido is offering five versions of the Rainbow, with starting prices of RMB 31,900 ($4,400), RMB 35,900, RMB 39,900, RMB 41,900 and RMB 43,900, respectively.
智道将提供五种版本的彩虹，起价分别为人民币31,900元（合4,400美元）、35,900元人民币、39,900元人民币、41,900元人民币和43,900元人民币。
The EV maker is offering limited-time discounts on the model, similar to what many other peers are doing these days.
这家电动汽车制造商为该车型提供限时折扣，类似于当今许多其他同行所做的事情。
Customers who buy the model before May 18 will receive a RMB 4,000 discount, bringing the model's starting price down to RMB 27,900 yuan.
在5月18日之前购买该模型的客户将获得4,000元人民币的折扣，使该模型的起价降至人民币27,900元人民币。
Founded in 2006, Zhido was one of the first local EV makers and had dominated the pure electric microcar market.
Zhido成立于2006年，是最早的本地电动汽车制造商之一，曾在纯电动微型汽车市场占据主导地位。
The EV maker sold 43,000 units in 2017, second only to the then EV king BAIC New Energy.
这家电动汽车制造商在2017年售出了43,000辆，仅次于当时的电动汽车之王北汽新能源。
In 2018, China mandated that EVs with a range of less than 250 kilometers were no longer eligible for subsidies.
2018年，中国规定，续航里程小于250公里的电动汽车不再有资格获得补贴。
After that, Zhido sales declined rapidly and entered bankruptcy reorganization and dropped out of the public eye after delivering 2,005 vehicles in 2019.
之后，智多的销量迅速下降并进入破产重组，并在2019年交付了2,005辆汽车后退出了公众的视野。
On March 7 this year, Zhido announced it had completed a strategic recapitalization and began warming up for the Rainbow.
今年3月7日，智道宣布已完成战略资本重组，并开始为彩虹做准备。
In October 2023, Zhido completed a strategic recapitalization thanks to the combined efforts of Geely Auto Group, Aima Technology Group, and other investors, according to a statement it made last month.
根据智多上个月发表的一份声明，在吉利汽车集团、艾玛科技集团和其他投资者的共同努力下，智多于2023年10月完成了战略资本重组。
The Zhido Rainbow measures 3,224 mm in length, 1,515 mm in width and 1,630 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,100 mm.
Zhido Rainbow 长 3,224 毫米，宽 1,515 毫米，高 1,630 毫米，轴距为 2,100 毫米。
For comparison, the Wuling Hongguang Mini EV, which has been a hot seller in China for the past few years, measures 2,920 mm in length, 1,493 mm in width and 1,621 mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 1,940 mm.
相比之下，过去几年在中国一直畅销的五菱宏光迷你电动汽车的长度为2920毫米，宽度为1,493毫米，高度为1,621毫米，轴距为1,940毫米。
This means that the Zhido Rainbow is bigger and wider than the Wuling Honda Mini.
这意味着智多彩虹比五菱本田迷你更大、更宽。
The Rainbow offers four CLTC range options, including two with 125 km, two with 205 km, and one with 201 km.
Rainbow 提供四种 CLTC 续航里程选项，其中两个为 125 千米，两个为 205 千米，一个为 201 千米。
Zhido offers several color options for the Rainbow, seemingly hoping to cater to a younger demographic.

The EV maker didn't release the Rainbow's powertrain specifications, but a previous regulatory filing revealed that the model has two options for the motor -- 20 kW and 30 kW.
这家电动汽车制造商没有公布Rainbow的动力总成规格，但先前的一份监管文件显示，该车型有两种电机选择——20 kW和30 kW。
