I don’t think I have seen an example of either one in over 20 years.
But to be fair I don’t think I have seen a Ford Escort either.
The 1980’s was a bad decade for car design thanks to emissions standards and high gas prices.
Yeah, beautiful looking CGI. Reminds me of the 1980’s air-brush paintings. Can’t really tell much about the *car*, though. Other than it’s tiny. Wonder how such glowing CGI could make a Trabant or a Yugo look.
You got to be kwidding me.
Just kwit it...
Although it’s cheap enough you could use it for local grocery runs and the like and keep a combustion car for needle point.
You have to park on the curb at your apartment.
Your M-F job is 51 miles away.
You leave at 6:00 and get home about 6:30.
Where do you recharge your car - a daily task?
How long does it take?
Just asking.
The La Car got to be known as the La Crap. And it earned that name.
I am shocked, shocked! to find Renault produces electric cars.
I do have a question for electric car fans: Where are all these amps, that are supposed to replace fossil fuels, supposed to come from, when you look at the evening rush hour, on a cold day, in the dark?
Or are we back to the 200 mile extension cord?
Hell...
Where the cars are French
The food is British
The police are German
The lovers are Swiss
....and the whole thing is run by Italians
The media is just going to continue ignoring the issue with the battery packs aren’t they? The batteries only last so long, used or not. They need to be replaced at exorbitant pricing, and they are toxic waste. Plus, just like oil, we will have to be friendly with hostile regimes to extract the lithium.
I am shocked, shocked! to find Renault produces ...cars..................
“How big is a skwid?”
You can burn your fuel at the power plant many miles away, or you can burn your fuel under the hood.
Either way, you’re burning fuel.
There’s no such thing as an “electric” car.
There are gasoline fueled cars, diesel fueled cars, coal fueled cars, methane fueled cars, uranium fueled cars, hydrogen (fusion) fueled cars ...
The Yugo was actually a FIAT with a nameplate change..................
Kwid is an existing model, about 145” long. At least it’s bigger than a Smart car.
The smallest current Mini Cooper is 151” long.
“Electric cars have no souls, and are driven by people without souls.
You might as well get a lobotomy.”
The buggy drivers of last century could make a MUCH better case... ;-)
Electric cars are fine. It’s a technology, not an ideology. Heck, I always wanted a nuclear powered car!
You should not in that case buy a Ford F-450 Super Duty.
