I JUST BOUGHT MY DREAM ELECTRIC CAR!

EV Channels Review

Kyle fulfills a long-held dream by acquiring a 2012 Renault Twizy in the US, a rare find. He details the unusual purchase process via eBay and the car's history as an imported engineering evaluation vehicle. The Twizy, in a desirable orange with optional scissor doors, is identified as the '45' model, with a top speed of 45 km/h, though the potential for a software upgrade to 100 km/h is noted. The reviewer highlights its compact size, 6.1 kWh battery, 8 kW motor, and surprisingly fun driving dynamics, including a tight turning radius and the ability to perform wheelies. Despite its quirks, like unusual turn signal sounds and a pedestrian warning horn, Kyle expresses immense joy and considers it a dream car that makes any drive an occasion. Challenges include its current registration status for road use and charging, with adapters being sourced. Overall, the condition is rated a solid 7/10, with minor cosmetic issues and the intention to upgrade wheels and windows.
