Yesterday we went to the 2014 Paris Motor Show with my son and a friend of his ....
... with the LEAF, parked nearby at an Autolib station and were kindly invited by Nissan France social media team (Thanks Orianne & Chantal)
So we started by Nissan of course and its new LEAF and e-NV200 in its Evalia family version
Right next to Nissan was Tesla, for the first time in Paris BTW, and it got a lot of attention, and was over crowded, which is a good thing (people seem to like EVs all of a sudden)
After that we split and I went on alone because there were many places to go to see all EVs, spread across the big exhibition halls
A little stop at the EV test facility
An engineer school showing a cool race car
VolksWagen and its low consumption concept (1L for 100km)
Their e-up
The e-Golf
KIA's EV Soul
A cool looking Mini Moke from the 60's revisited with Electric Drive
A little break with a beer and some fresh air, it is so hot inside with thousands of high power halogen lights ! you could charge thousands of EVs ... Time to switch to LED, no ?
and back the crowd with Lamborghini and the most powerful hybrid just released few days ago
at the BMWi section of BMW
I know this scooter ... ;)
Smart and its ED version, here convertible with cool paint
and Mercedes with its Electric Class B
Renault ... nothing there ...
Oh yes, now you can charge a ZOE from a regular outlet (lol, it was about time)
Back at Nissan where we got to chat with Orianne and Chantal who kindly invited us at the Show and also upstairs for a drink in the VIP lounge :)
After like 4 hours there, we finally got back to the LEAF, which had finished charging few hours before, and I received this Autolib text confirmation after unplugging and no even 5 EUR charge :)
