Renault Intends To Add A More Affordable Electric Car To Its Lineup


Renault Intends To Add A More Affordable Electric Car To Its Lineup The press release on the hierarchy change also includes a commitment to develop new affordable electric car. It’s possible that Renault could be referencing a cheap EV for China, but we doubt it would be tucked into this Eurocentric release. There is also a chance for an EV introduction of a new EV based on the Renault Twingo, which still awaits its chance at becoming an EV – not counting the Twingo-based smart forfour electric drive vehicle that will be released in early 2017 in Europe only (the new fortwo arrives in the US in a few weeks time). Renault holds about a 25% share of BEVs today in Europe and has sold more than 100,000 BEVs in the region since 2012. This year Renault hopes to sell around 30,000 electric cars (including the electric quadricycle Twizy) – 24,000 of them to fall on the ZOE. See http://ift.tt/2gmjVp9
