This will never be available to buy in the US, and if it was it would be three times the price after tariffs and importers take their cut. There is a company in Germany that is preparing to import these (or another very similar super-cheap EV from China) but they will be absurdly inflated in price: they will buy them for €3,000 at the factory in China and sell them for €14,000 on the European market. You can't have cheap EVs in Europe or the US, else the auto industry will crash (faster than it already is).
