Electric car...


It's been a long time since I've wanted to show you these odd little electric cars that have started invading Paris since last year, but I never managed to take a sexy photo. This one is not super sexy, but at least it's intriguing ;-) (the ray of light comes from a car that passed by while I was waiting to push the trigger). I took it by a charging station that is normally designed for Autolib, but is also available to everyone who has an electric car (there aren't that many, so they don't take much risk!). Anyway, It's a Renault Twizy, a two seat vehicle that is small enough to park, almost everywhere. It costs about 7 500 € and has a 80 km (50 miles) range.  Not bad, but I'll stick to my scooter...

  1. I love the photo and the car. Imagine trying to find one of these in an American parking lot full of absurd SUVs. I have trouble finding my Volvo.

  3. You get up in the morning, reach for your shaver, it's dead - you forgot to recharge it.
    You reach for your smartphone, it's dead - you forgot to recharge it
    I-pad? Yup, you forgot to recharge it too
    Late for work now, rush outside, jump in your Twizy, turn the key.............guess what?

    It think that umbilical cord might be very tempting to a jilted lover, an ex-spouse or someone who frankly can't stand you. Sweet revenge!

  5. And I'll stick to my own two feet. But if I had to have a car in NYC . . . at least there'd be no such thing as a "too-tight" parking space. :~}

  7. Vehicle transportation industry can be run by means of 90% from the brokers! Virtually all automobile transportation businesses never personal auto trailers. They do not develop the personnel or funds to promote on their own on the public or the client support crew to supply service to their clients.
