Also in Europe, an old state company called Renault is beating Tesla with the R5.

I just saw an R5 on the street in the bright green. Super cool looking car. There are a whole bunch of promising small EVs coming out in the EU. Hyundai Inster, VW ID.1, Kia EV2, etc.

  • Took one for a test drive - it was fun. The only downside is compared to some other compact/city EV's the legroom in the back is REALLY bad (and I'm not exactly tall).

    The legroom in my son's VW e-Up! is markedly better, despite it being a smaller car.

Wasn’t Renault an F1 competitor for many years?
