I had forgotten about the Twizy. Found this funny video of one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xz2z1LXbxzE
It is a car I would like but would want it to be self-driving. On 1/8/2019 12:04 PM, EVDL Administrator via EV wrote:
I doubt that we'll ever see anything like the Renault Twizy, for example, in US auto showrooms. However, it's a modest seller in Europe, Asia (at least in South Korea), and the Middle East. But then the Twizy costs Eur 10k+, not Eur 100k+. It's also seen as a fun car, economical, and environmentally friendly. Europeans especially seem to be more willing to pay for those factors than Americans. It helps too that their safety standards are more flexible, and they don't have the preponderance of gigantic SUVs and pickups that we have here. (IMO, despite often aggressive and impatient other drivers, driving any tiny car on European roads is less stressful than driving one here.) David Roden - Akron, Ohio, USA EVDL Administrator
