These seem to be selling in France. 30kWh battery sounds useful. 12,000 euros plus 80 euros/month for battery rental. Top speed 69mph (limited). Anybody here tried one?

Looks interesting as a purely urban car. 150 mile range in that setting would mean daily charging is not vital and can be done (for a 15 EUR per month fee) from public charge points. Very basic inside. There's also a mehari type 'summer' car.

They get the range partly by using super capacitors as I understand it. Does that mean a lower range at motorway speeds?

Always liked the look of this car. Considered it instead of the Leaf but not available in uk then. Is the car used for the Paris car hire scheme so has done a LOT of miles in last few years. Reliability stats would be interesting. The car high version said to be more basic than the one for private owners. Designed by Pinnafarinna the Italian company. The chief designer / champion died unexpectedly before launch. Insert conspiracy theory of choice here.

Indeed, extra urban range is around 90 miles
