Electric vehicles are all about :
- A more economical recharge price 2/100 km, i.e. on average 70 % less expensive than a petrol vehicle.
- From charging solutions available in town, sometimes free of charge.

- Le free parking in several French cities.

- Increasingly competitive purchase prices.

In terms of technology, you'll find autonomous braking, adaptive cruise control (which automatically adjusts speed on motorways) and blind spot detection.
It's a real electric family car - there's room for five people and there's space for everyone. The 2019 version's range is still a little limited, but the 2020 version promises a range in excess of 265 km, which still seems a little short for going on holiday.
