      Oui elle est super cool et très confortable, mais comme il le mentionne dans la vidéo c’est juste dommage qu’elle soit limitée à 45 km/heure et le fait que les vitres soient fixes, oblige le conducteur à ouvrir la porte pour pouvoir interagir avec quelqu’un, lors d’un contrôle par exemple. A part ça, je la trouve géniale pour le centre ville

    In several countries in Europe you need a driving license to drive above 25 mph. You also need to be 18 y.o to get a license.
    With this car you can drive with out a license and (!) also earlier than at age of 18.
    Young teens use those (similar but with motor) cars already everywhere today… and the prices are some times even higher. This Eli is going to be very well accepted by many young people who need to get around and go between home and school etc.

    I often agree with you in the eyes of a young person. At 65, I see the as a "this is all that I need" living in a small town. If I went crazy, I would change: 35mph, split seating, folding passenger seat for more trunk-ish space, opening hatch window (like the sun roof). Adding an opening window in the doors... maybe. If it does not change the clean lines.

    This is a very helpful review. All of the cons are valid. I would buy something like this, but in North America it is simply too slow to be on the road, unless it's narrow enough to fit in the bicycle lanes. Oh, and the windows, that's definitely a no, even if the other issues are resolved. How about a two-piece sliding window....

    Looks awesome and I want one but its not going to work in the US unless you can go 45mph. I can't even get out of my drive way at 25mph. I ride my ebike to work, but I can go 40mph. Such a cool concept but they need to classify it as a motorcycle in the US so we can use it faster.

    Good solution for me. I drive only tens of miles per month, with one or two trips over fifty miles every few months. One needs to drive roughly fifty miles per day to make a Tesla economical. With the money I would save on this car, I can afford to rent a car for the few long trips.

    Perfect car for Amsterdam, where I live. Speed limit in the city is 30km per hour. Parking is a nightmare with a 'normal' or bigger car. And parking costs a fortune. For an Eli Zero Plus you can buy a special parking permit that only costs €500 A YEAR and park anywhere in Amsterdam (thats about 10 days of parking in Amsterdam with a normal car). That's why there are already so many Birro's, Opel E-rocks, and Citroen Ami's driving around over here. But those are all inferior to the Eli Zero Plus when it comes to the build quality and features.
    This thing does NOT want to compete with cars, it competes with (electric) mopeds, scooters and bicycles. Plus, you don't need to have a full driver licence. In an Eli Zero Plus, your are always dry when it rains outside. And trust me, in Amsterdam, it rains a lot for about 4 months a year. Not great when you're on a bicycle or scooter. It's perfect for shorter trips and commuting through dense, European cities with narrow streets and insufficient parking space. Literally a time saver. Time = Money folks. Everybody knows that.
    A lot of people don't seem to get the point of this Eli Zero Plus design and use case. The focus is not on distance, volume or power. It is tailor made for people who value their time, want something compact, don't want to compromise on comfort, efficiency, and safety for their shorter trips. People who are fed up with driving a bigger car that is overqualified for short trips through your neighbourhood and city, but don't want to take a moped, scooter or e-bike instead. The Eli Zero Plus is the perfect solution right smack in the middle. Think of it as the iPad. It is right smack in the middle of a desktop/laptop and a smartphone. Nobody knew they needed an iPad, before the experienced an iPad. As of today, Apple is selling more iPads than they sell Macbook's, iMacs, and iPhones. I don't think most people will understand the Eli Zero Plus, until they experience it in an environment that it was tailor made for.
    I know someone who bought an Eli Zero Plus as his 2nd car. He has a BMW SUV as his main car. he has a wife and two children. The Eli Zero Plus quickly became their most used vehicle, because driving a BMW SUV in Amsterdam really sucks. if you're not highway dependent and don't need to cover a lot of large distances, an Eli Zero Plus is one of the best options. Zero emission, comfort, safety of a real car, and the advantage of being super compact. I understand why most people don't see it yet, but I think that the Eli Zero Pus will be a highly successful product for Eli.
    I already did a downpayment and I'm picking up mine at the dealer tomorrow. And I'm pretty sure these Eli Zero Plus cars, and EV Microcars in general, will dominate the streets of most European cities within a few years.
    Only downsides to me: the price, door windows don't open, and no driver side sun visor. Other than that, it's a huge upgrade from my Piaggio Ape.

    It says in the specs it is a 72 v But I am sure you could get a 84v battery this would for sure boost the speed of this. I have an emmo monster s ev bike which top speed is 65KM and hour so not too bad. I can keep up with traffic which city speed is only 40KM an hour so no issues.

      @@fastestmanon3legs454 well the rules in each country would be different. But if you have the 84v and the L,M,H, (low/medium/high) you can go faster. But its more for the battery lasting longer on 1 charge. Speed is good but you must follow your countries speed limit for an ev bike/car rules. here where I am in canada ontario 32km an hour is the limit. I can go faster but to do that I have to acquire a license and have insurance.

    The main reason why I won't get this vehicle is because of the range and the top speed. The nimbus halo ev has a higher top speed and range for less money. I really like the side by side two seat design but its too slow for the average American city and at 12k I would rather have something else.

    You have to understand its purpose. It is not built to compete with a Tesla! It is an electric mobility vehicle, not a car! When you review stuff, the first thing you should do is put yourself in the mind-frame of the specific purpose for which the product is designed. The window is a big deal. it could have ben easily resolved with an in-set sliding window within the window. All in all, it does resolve most of the issues people had with Renault Twizy. Shame about the windows though.

    These cars are obviously designed for people who don't need a micro car. The furthest I'd drive it is the post office a mile away. Any further and I'd need 35 mph to keep up with the NEEDS of the people behind me. Using one of these on a 35 mph road is figuratively giving other drivers the bird. The laws need to be changed so the cars will have to fit into reality. I'd buy a 35 mph version of this for $8000. I know they're just getting started and need the money for production but I'm not an early adopter. What I did do is spend just over $5k for a conversion that fits my Ford Ranger and I'll take off the bed and build a battery rack as low on the frame as is practical and add a shallow bed for cargo. The top speed of my truck will be 65 mph before removing the engine so I think it will be a better investment than this car after $4000 in batteries.
