The other electric cars are officially out of date. You do not need to worry about your Lucids, Teslas, BYDs, or Rimacs. The Renault Twingo EV will have to be the only real kind for everyone. “What’s the Renault Twingo?” It might interest you. “What’s the big fucking deal?” For nearly a decade, the Twingo has been one of the most-used cars in internet jokes. When I was in high school, I remember surfing 4chan’s /o/ and seeing a lot of discussion about Twingo for reasons I didn’t fully understand. It’s easy. The Twingo is appealing because he seems happy, which can be put up like this. At its Capital Market Day Ampere on Wednesday, Renault talked about its long-term plans for its new Ampere EV subsidiary. They confirmed that the Twingo will become an electric car. Renault CEO Luca de Meo called the Twingo Legend idea a “game-changer” for “urban” cars because it would be very cheap and very efficient. Renault plans to sell an electric vehicle (EV) that can get more than 200 MPGe, or six miles per kWh of energy used, for less than $21,700 (without incentives). In practice, this makes a Tesla Model X twice as efficient. De Meo said that the Twingo Legend would go from an idea to mass production in two years and that its growth path would be similar to that of Chinese electric vehicle makers. You’ll be able to buy it around the end of 2025. Even though there was no range estimate, the battery must be as small as possible to be as efficient and cheap. In light of the fact that it’s a city car and not meant to cross continents on a single charge, it could go fifty to one hundred miles. In other words, this is why there are these “high-speed trains.” Pay attention to the three small holes on the hood. On the gas-powered Twingo, those are vents. On the electric version, they show numbers and a percent sign. Renault hasn’t said what’s going on, but it has something to do with the charge state. Even though Renault plans to start selling Alpines in the US in 2027, the Renault Twingo EV is expected to be elsewhere. The small hatch’s size, range, and name would make it hard to sell, and the cost of homologation would be too high for most people to afford. I really would have worn one to first dates, which is a shame. Thank you, but she wasn’t interested in either your Dodge Charger Daytona EV or your Hellcat.
