Overview:

Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Great! At last a small and (kind of) affordable electric car! Tired of those massive SUVs. Maybe in, like, ten years ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป...

Bit of a tangent but, why all new cars are so ugly? Subjective, I know, but they all look so angry and aggressive, full of ridges and crests... where are the cute, happy cars?

Those threaten men. But not French men who will fuck your wife...

The concept car looks a bit worse than the production-ready one they showed off recently

That's more like it! Look how happy it looks! But even that one is bigger than the old twingos, have you seen the new r5? It's a suv! Yes, compact suv, or urban suv or whatever, still huge for an r5.

I have a 2001 206, the 208 would be the current version of the model and it's a foot longer, and looks super aggressive, specially compared with the absolute beauty that is the 206.

Edit: French people laugh more like 'hon hon hon' (the n is not actually pronounced, but turns the o into a nasal vowel)

I quite like the styling of this, more than many far more expensive cars. Generally I prefer angular, geometric asthetics to the bubbly blob car styles we went through about 10-15 years ago. 80s fastbacks were peak vehicle design for me.

Yeah, those old delta, golf, 205... looked quite pretty. But it's not the same, these new cars are unnecessary pointy and sharp everywhere, like that edge they put in the middle of the back of every other model.
