4 DAYS AND 526 MILES IN A RENAULT TWIZY

EV Channels Review

This video documents an ambitious 526-mile journey in a Renault Twizy, undertaken from Aberdeen to Hinckley. The reviewer highlights the extreme cold and its significant impact on the vehicle's range, which was considerably less than the advertised 30-50 miles, often dipping to around 33 miles and requiring frequent charging stops. The lack of creature comforts, such as heating, made the experience particularly challenging. However, the journey was made possible by the incredible support and hospitality of the EV community, with numerous individuals offering charging points, food, and accommodation. Despite the numerous logistical hurdles and the inherent discomforts of the Twizy for such a long trip, the reviewer expresses a fondness for the vehicle, appreciating its fun factor for local use and its surprising resilience. The core takeaway is the power of community in enabling such an undertaking, rather than the Twizy's suitability for long-distance travel.
