A Visit to BMW Motorrad Paris

On the way back from Tesla, we passed by BMW Motorrad in Paris, Avenue de la Grande Armée, and saw the new C Evolution Electric Scooter

My son wanted to see it, test drive it wwith me, but I said no because of the very wet streets. I will have to wait until I get mine, later in june.

I also took the opportunity to talk to a salesman to see the C Evolution availability, and he said not until 2015 ! So it is selling well, but BMW is not making enough of them in the beginning, and it is a pity !

A Model S plugged in and charging at an Autolib station in Paris

Renaud Roubaudi films a beautiful brown Tesla Model S P85 - Performance 85kWh - in a nice street of Paris, plugged in and charging at an Autolib station







The charge port is located at the rear and on the left, which is not too far and the owner is using his own Type 3 to Type 2 - Mennekes - cable

So I was wrong, a Model S can fit in an Autolib spot, a big one though ...

Renault Press Release: Diane Kruger electrifies the Champs-Elysées in a Renault ZOE

On Wednesday, November 21, actress Diane Kruger, arrived in an electric Renault ZOE to switch on the Christmas lights that will illuminate the world’s most beautiful avenue until January 9, 2013.



Renault has been official partner of the Champs-Elysées Christmas lights since 2012.

New, more environmentally friendly lights

From November 21, 2012, the lights will adorn 200 trees along more than a mile of the Champs-Elysées. This year again will see more environmentally friendly third-generation LED lights, reflecting Renault’s priorities. The new technology will also reduce the energy bill. Some of the 38,000 kWh that will be consumed during the operation will be supplied by the Thémis solar farm in the eastern Pyrénées.
Renault, the “natural” partner of the Christmas lights

Renault was the first carmaker to open premises on the world’s most beautiful avenue, 100 years ago.


Innovative electric lights? Renault has innovation in its genes and develops affordable technologies in anticipation of customers’ expectations. Renault is the only carmaker to sell a full range of electric vehicles at affordable retail prices: Kangoo Z.E, Fluence Z.E. Twizy and ZOE.

Environmentally-aware Christmas lights? Renault launched a strong environmental approach in 1995, which takes into account the environmental impacts of all the company’s activities, at every stage in the life cycle of a car. The Renault eco2 label represents that commitment.

For the second year in a row, visitors to the illuminated Champs-Elysées are welcome to drop in at L’Atelier Renault to prolong the magical experience. L’Atelier Renault Café has even designed an “Illuminations” (“Christmas Lights”) cocktail, which can be enjoyed at any time of the day.
