There are more and more sustainable vehicles designed for urban areas. Driven purely by electric power. Here are some examples of electric cars built in Europe.

Volkswagen Nils

Volkswagen NILS, a single-seat electric concept vehicle. The goal of the NILS project is to research a technically realistic and economically feasible concept for a minimalist commuter vehicle that makes individual transportation more efficient and eco-friendly thanks to its electric drive. With a range of 65 kilometres and a top speed of 130 km/h Volkswagen NILS would be the ideal vehicle for the majority of commuters in Germany. According to the German Bureau of Statistics, 73.9 per cent of all commuters residing between Berlin and Munich cover less than 25 kilometres (15.5 miles) on their way to work.

Length: 3.04 meter. With: 1.39 meter.

Top speed 130 km/h.

Charge time 2 hours

Weight 460 kg

Renault Twizy

The Twizy is a four-wheel, semi-open electric vehicle with two seats. With 2.32 meters of Twizy is about 40 centimeters shorter than a Smart Fortwo. The two occupants sit one behind the other.

Top speed 76 km/h.

Charge time 3.5 hours ( for 100 km)

Weight 450 kg

Market introduction March 2012

 

Smart Forvision

Smart Fortwo, which in 2014 hit the market. In order to improve energy efficiency of the Smart Forvision, a flat transparent solar roof was installed. If the Smart Forvision in the sun, the air using solar energy to operate permanently.Among the semi-transparent solar cells, organic light emitting diodes (OLED) to the interior. Their use will save not only a glare-free lighting in your choice colors and energy. Because OLEDs do not develop heat, can hardly radiating energy is lost, making them according to the developers up to 50 percent more efficient than conventional energy-saving lamps. The steering wheel is in the middle. On all plastic wheels that weigh only 3 kg, significantly less of a conventional aluminum rim. The doors are made of epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fibers, the second smart solution that allows a weight reduction of more than 50% compared to steel and about 30% compared to aluminum.

Opel One Euro Car

This new two-seat electric car is so-named because of the claimed ability to travel 100 kilometers for the cost of a single Euro. The One Euro Car would use 10 times less energy than a typical small car and weigh in about a third less. It would also offer full functionality and a top speed of 120 km/h. The automaker envisions a low-speed variant limited to 45 km/h, which could be driven by drivers as young as 16 years old. No doors.

 

 

Top speed 120 km/u
