In fact, the Renault Twingo sold in almost 2.4 million units during its run. It felt like a solid, effective, well-made car-which may have something to do with the fact that the Twingo had a production run of 13 years before MES-DEA breathed their electrons upon it. Unlike the Th!ink: the Twingo seems properly screwed together, with no creaks or buzzes to be heard. Through urban Zurich, the Renault EV handled bumps quite well, albeit feeling heavier than a normal small car. Steering is synthetic (as in all first-generation Twingos). Strong, torquey acceleration is accompanied by an unobtrusive electric-motor whine. You get in, turn the key, put the direction selector in gear, and set off. The problem I had with the Th!nk was not with the electric system, but with the car. Be it as it may, MES-DEA is delivering EV Th!nks, Twingos and Fiat Pandas to customers in Switzerland and Italy on a daily basis. EV-insiders claim corporate politics that led to Zebra’s abandonment. Mercedes says they quit Zebra because of the sodium battery’s requirement to be kept at a high temperature. Mercedes was involved in Zebra technology for about a decade for three reasons: simplicity, recyclability and a lower price. To freshen up your memory, the molten-salt-based Zebra system is about 70% as energy-dense as Lithium-Ion batteries. It has the same quaint-yet-effective Zebra battery system as does the Nordic Th!ink. So it was with some skepticism that I took the helm of a Renault Twingo that MES-DEA (a Swiss company) had turned into an EV. A real let-down when you consider that it was specifically designed for the requirements of electric power. But I say: Wrong! The electric Twingo I drove proves that there is more to making a good drive than just getting the propulsion stuff right.Īs previously reported, the Th!ink EV was a disappointment: feckless, lightweight-feeling, stiff-legged, wobbly. It’s 1910 all over again, and internal-combustion cars are going the way of the horse-drawn carriage. A car maker’s core business is engines-but engines are over, they say. The diameter of the rear brakes is 203.00 mm and the one of the front brakes is 259.00 mm.Car manufacturers are toast! At least, that’s what members of the Electric Vehicle (EV) religion believe.
