Stokomak begins selling Stymee: small electric city vehicle for 245.000 denars

Following a recent wave of consumer frenzy over discounted food items, Stokomak has surprised shoppers again — this time by listing a compact electric vehicle in its stores. The item, marketed under the name Stymee, has quickly become a talking point on social networks.

The Stymee is presented as a tiny, 100% electric city vehicle equipped with a 2000W motor, a 60V battery and a claimed range of 80 kilometres on a single charge. The model also includes built-in air conditioning and is pitched as an economical urban transport option.

Price on offer is 245.000 denars, and according to the published specs the cost per driven unit is an eye-catching 0,25 denars (that is only 1 denar for four kilometres!). The package reportedly includes a 1-year warranty and completed homologation, leaving the car ready for registration; customers can order it at their nearest Stokomak store.

Social media reaction: from enthusiasm to concern

The announcement drew thousands of likes and shares and hundreds of comments on social media. While many praised the novelty and potential savings, others raised practical worries about traffic safety and regulation.

“I was lucky to get to the registration centre, where the official explained that this is not in the vehicle class but a light quadricycle which can be driven with an AM category – which means minors from 16 years old will be able to drive it! We're only just beginning to face general madness and additional chaos in traffic!” a citizen commented under the social-media post. Supporters of the offer countered that small electric vehicles could help reduce emissions and cut urban transport costs.

Whether Stokomak will actually help fill North Macedonian streets with small electric cars after the success of cheap food promotions remains to be seen, but the chain’s promotions continue to provoke strong public reaction.
