RENAULT TWIZY CHALLENGE: 200 MILES IN A DAY?

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious challenge: driving a Renault Twizy, with its limited 35-mile range per charge, over 200 miles in a single day. The reviewer highlights the extreme discomfort of the journey, particularly the lack of heating in sub-zero temperatures, leading to a constant battle against the cold. Charging proved to be a significant hurdle, with one charger failing and another having a two-hour limit, forcing creative solutions like using a 25-meter extension cord on a cinema's fourth-floor plug socket. Despite the hardships, the reviewer concludes that the Twizy's unique nature and the interactions it facilitated (from curious onlookers to unexpected detours) provided a richer experience than a more conventional EV like a Tesla would have. The core takeaway is that while the Twizy is not practical for long distances, the journey itself, with all its challenges, was a memorable adventure.
