Painting a Renault Twizy in Paris. #Twizy #car #Paris #oilpainting #pleinairpainting

From what I could find, the Renault Twizy was produced from 2012-2023. Base price $12,000 but you can get them used for much less. It comes standard with no doors, which can be purchased as an add-on. But if you want windows, zip-on windows are an additional add-on. There is no heating and very little suspension. Obviously very little room for storage and it’s not very secure so don’t leave valuables inside the main cabin. It’s basically less of a car and more of a luxurious moped. But you can’t bypass other cars or split lanes like you can on a moped. And you will definitely get more people pointing and staring than if you were on a moped. Top speed is 50 mph (80 km/h) for the main model and 28 mph (45 km/h) for the urban model. It takes about 3.5 hours to charge from a standard 220-240V household outlet, and can go 30-50 miles (≈48-80 km) on a single charge. From what I could find, it amounts to costing only a few cents per mile to drive it! It also isn’t classified as a car, so it can bypass some requirements imposed on cars. It also of course fits in many more parking spaces and can even park in some motorcycle parking spots. Not sure if I would do that though.
